William Glew and Jane Clark

Humber keel - many details of their construction suggest that these fat regional wooden workboats were actually close relatives of the Viking long ships.

William Glew (b. 8 Jan 1816 in Crowle, Lincolnshire), Waterman of Wincolmlee, son of John Glew, Waterman, and Hannah Ludlam, married Jane Clark (bap. 15 Feb 1816 at St. Mary's, Sculcoates), of New George Street, daughter of George Clark, Joiner, and Hannah Hardy, on 17 Apr 1838 at St. Mary's, Sculcoates. Witnesses were Wm Taylor and Susannah Clark, who appeared to be Jane's sister.

William and Jane had two sons:

1. Thomas Glew b. 14 Aug 1839 S Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 22 Page 492, bap. 1 Sep 1839 in Sculcoates (presumably also at St Mary's)
2. William Glew b. 1841 J Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 22 Page 500, bap. 30 Jun 1841 also in Sculcoates

The mother's maiden name on both birth registrations was indeed CLARK. William Glew's occupation is described on both baptisms as Sloopman.

In 1841, Jane Glew (25) with Thomas Glew (1) was in the household of her parents at New George Street, Sculcoates. William was not listed and was presumably aboard his vessel. "Seamen on shore on census night were enumerated in the same way as the general public, in the place where they spent that night. There was no provision made for recording seamen at sea on census night." [Source]

In 1851, William Glew (35) Waterman was in the household of George Clark (76) Journeyman joiner and Hannah Clark (76) at 63, New George Street, Sculcoates with Jane Glew (35), Thomas Glew (11) and William Glew (9).

In 1861, William Glew (44) Captain, was aboard the vessel, "Cousin Mary", Keel, then located at Oaks Colliery, Ardsley, Barnsley, South Yorkshire with Jane Glew (44) and Hannah Glew (4) Granddaughter (Thomas' eldest child).

In 1871, William Glew (55) Master; Samuel Barras (58) Widower, Mate; Jane Glew (55) Master's wife and Hannah Glew (13) Master's granddaughter were aboard the vessel, "Sarah, of Hull" at or around Mexborough, Doncaster.

In 1881, William Glew (64) Captain barge was on the Stainforth and Keadby Canal at Thorne, South Yorkshire with William Barron (15) Cabin boy. Jane Glew (65) Waterman's wife, was alone at 34, Charles Square, Sculcoates.

Jane Glew died at 74 in 1890 J Qtr in SCULCOATES Vol 09D Page 144.

In 1891, William Glew (75) Widower, Retired keelman was living with George Milner (33) Lighterman, at 2, Trevor Street, Sculcoates, listed as a Lodger, but Milner was his grandson-in-law, married to granddaughter, Hannah. 

William Glew died at 78 in 1894 J Qtr in SCULCOATES Vol 09D 109.

[1] "In the 1900s, some doctors believed there was a link between teething and sudden infant death syndrome, but this is now widely believed to be incorrect. Further, many misconceptions about the symptoms of teething were held in the past, both by caregivers and by doctors." Teething - University of Leeds

It's clear that Albert Redmore and Alice Redmore, both born and died in the first quarter of 1911, were a pair of fraternal twins. Even now in our own times, twins are five times more likely to die than single babies in their first year of life.

In 1911, living at 1 Kingston Villas, Estcourt Street, were Alfred Redmore (35) Printers Clerk; Esther Redmore (30), Ivy Redmore (8), Annie Elizabeth Redmore (7), John Redmore (4), Lily Redmore (2) and Alfred Redmore (1). Confirms that by 1911 they had 6 children, with 5 living, during then 9 years of marriage.

In 1921, Alfred Redmore (46) Printers Clerk was working for Richard Johnson & Sons (engravers, lithographers, and printers), 40 Lowgate, Hull. Still living at 1 Kingston Villas, Estcourt Street also were Esther Redmore (41), Ivy Redmore (18) Milliner; Annie Elizabeth Redmore (17) Tailoress; Lily Redmore (13), Alfred Redmore (12), Eva Redmore (9), Harry Redmore (7), Doris Redmore (5) and Stanley Redmore (4). Esther Redmore completed and signed the return. 

Alfred Redmore of 28 Rowlston Grove, East Hull Estate, died, aged 59, on 8 Jun 1934 (1934 J Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 209), leaving effects of £144 10s 2d (worth £12,700 in 2023) to his widow, Esther Redmore.

In 1939, Esther Redmore was living in the household of son-in-law and daughter, James and Eva Robinson at 59 Mead Street, Ings Road, Kingston Upon Hull. Also living in the household was daughter, Doris Redmore, Domestic Servant.

19th century headstones set against a brick wall in the old churchyard on the site of St. Peter's Church, near the junction of St Peter Street and Great Union Street, Hull.

Thomas Glew (bap. 1 Sep 1839 in Sculcoates), son of William Glew and Jane Clark, married Hannah Amelia Broomby (b. 1839 in Nottingham), daughter of William Broomby and Mary Ann Douse, in Sculcoates in the first quarter of 1857.

Thomas and Hannah Amelia had thirteen children:

13. Mary Ann Glew b. 11 Mar 1881 (J Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 181), bap. 31 Mar 1881 at Christ Church, Sculcoates.

All of the birth registrations have the mother's maiden name of BROOMBY. And, I've checked them all and the last child is the only one to have been baptised.

In 1861, Thomas Glew (21) Mate employs 2 men; Hannah A Glew (22) and George C Glew (1) were living at 25, Harbour Square, Sculcoates. Hannah Glew (4) was with her grandparents, William and Jane Glew aboard the vessel, "Cousin Mary", then located at Oaks Colliery, Ardsley, Barnsley, South Yorkshire.

In 1871, Thomas Glew (31) employed at an Oil Mill; Hannah Glew (32), John W Glew (8), Joseph Glew (2) and Sarah A (sic) Glew (0) were living at 2, Wilkinson's Terrace, Sculcoates (which I believe was in Green Lane, Wincolmlee). Hannah Glew (13) was with her grandparents on the vessel, "Sarah", around Mexborough.

In 1881, living at 3, Lawson's Court, Sculcoates (which seems also to have been in Wincolmlee in the All Saints Parish of East Hull) were Thomas Glew (41) Dock Labourer; Hannah A Glew (42), John Wm Glew (18), Joseph Glew (12), Sarah J Glew (10), George H Glew (8), Ernest Glew (6), Elizabeth Glew (3), Hester [Esther] Glew (1) and Mary Ann Glew (3 weeks). (Hannah Glew had married in Jan.)

[Hannah] Amelia Glew died, aged 44, in 1883 D Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 113 and was buried on 4 Oct 1883 at St. Peter's Church in Drypool.

Thomas Glew (50) widower, married Alice Austin (30) widow, both of 7 Bourne Street, on 22 Dec 1889, at Christ Church, Sculcoates. Witnesses were William Glew and Maria Glew. Born Alice Morrow, on 4 Sep 1859, she had previously married John Albert Austin, in 1883, with whom she had two children: Alice Austin b. 1884 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 195 and George Austin b. 1 Jan 1885 (M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 183). John Albert Austin died, aged 31, and was buried on 20 Feb 1886 at Sheffield, City Road Cemetery. (Alice Austin Jnr was brought up by her maternal grandmother.)

Thomas and Alice added a further eight children:

14. Thomas William Glew b. 15 Jan 1890 (1890 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 196) 
15. Jane Glew b. 26 Mar 1892 (1892 J Qtr in SCULCOATES Vol 09D 205)
16. Maria Glew b. 3 Dec 1893 (1894 M Qtr in SCULCOATES Vol 09D 193)
17. Susannah Glew b. 28 Mar 1895 (1895 J Qtr in SCULCOATES Vol 09D 212)
18. Ada Glew b. 1898 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 225. Died, aged 2 on 17 Feb 1900 from Bronchitis and was buried on 22 Feb 1900.
19. Ruth Amy Glew b. 1899 S Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 227. Died 30 Sep 1899 from Convulsions and was buried on 4 Oct 1899.
20. Edith Glew b. 1901 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 228. Died, aged 10, 1911 S Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 306
21. Albert Glew b. 19 Aug 1904 (1904 S Qtr in SCULCOATES Vol 09D 255)

On the birth registration for Thomas William, the mother's maiden name is incorrectly listed as MURRAY; on those for Jane, Ada and Albert it's 'usefully' wrong as AUSTIN and those of Maria, Susannah, Ruth Amy and Edith, MORROW.

So yes, Thomas Glew had an incredible 21 children and 2 step-children in total!

In 1891, at 7, Bourne Street, were Thomas Glew (51) Oil Mill Labourer; Alice Glew (31), George H Glew (18) & Ernest Glew (16) Oil Mill Labourers; Elizabeth Glew (13), Mary Ann Glew (10), Thomas W Glew (1) and George Austin (6) Stepson.

In 1901, at 8, Bourne Street, Sculcoates were Thomas Glew (62) Labourer in Oil Mill; Alice Glew (42), George Austin (16) Errand boy; Thomas W Glew (11), Jane Glew (9), Maria Glew (7), Susannah Glew (6) and Edith Glew (2 months). Esther Glew (20) Embosser printer was living in the household of George Milner - who was married to her eldest sister Hannah - at 100, Spyvee Street, Sculcoates.

In 1911, Thomas Glew (71) Labourer in oil mill was living at 1 Reform Street, Hull with Alice Glew (51), George Austin (26), Thomas W Glew (21), Jane Glew (19), Maria Glew (17), Susannah Glew (16), Edith Glew (10) and Albert Glew (6). This census confirms that Thomas and Alice had eight children, of whom six were still living and two at that point had died, during their 22 years of marriage.

In 1921, Thomas Glew (81) Retired, was still living at 1, Reform Street, Hull, with Alice Glew (61), Thomas William Glew (31), Maria Glew (27) and Albert Glew (16).

Thomas Glew died, aged 85, in 1925 J Quarter Volume 09D Page 231.

In 1939, Alice Glew, Widowed, was living at 40 Staveley Road, Kingston Upon Hull with son, Albert Glew and a James Henry Fern (Lodger, presumably.)
