She is your 2nd cousin 2xremoved. Your 3xgreat grandfather, John Glover is Nellie's great grandfather.
Nellie was the 6th child (of 9 children) for William Joseph Cruddas Glover (who was a plumber) and Margaret Key Taylor.
I would normally leave information about marriage etc until I'm reporting on that event, but because I don't have an exact date for Nellie's marriage - I just know it was either July, August or September in 1936, I will make a few comments now.
Nellie married Ronald Donaldson in 1936 in Newcastle. Ronald was also born and bred Newcastle and they were both 33 years old. Ronald spent most of his adult life - until his death in 1960 at age 57 - going back and forth on ships to Nigeria. And on many of these journeys, Nellie accompanied him. He was an agent for the Elder Dempster Line - a shipping company which operated between Liverpool and Lagos, Nigeria. The two of them seemed to stay for a few months at either end. An interesting life. No children.
The picture is of one of the ships Ronald and Nellie sailed on: The Apapa which was built in 1948. The voyage took two weeks (or a fortnight as we like to say).
