April 24th

We have just one event today - a marriage.  On April 24th in 1784 Sarah Glover married Richard Dexter.  This is going way back in time and back to Castle Donington, the cradle of our Glovers.  Sarah was the daughter of John Glover and Mary who are your 5th great grandparents.  Sarah herself is your 5th great aunt.

Sarah was 25 when she married Richard Dexter in Castle Donington.  I don't know much about the couple or what Richard did for a living but they had at least one child, Mary.  Most of the information I have is from the very detailed will, the original of which I saw in Castle Donington in 2016, of Sarah's father, John Glover.  Dad left his daughter some money with the proviso that it was for her alone and should not be used for any benefit to her husband.  This maybe suggests John wasn't too keen on his son-in-law.

These events (birth of Sarah, Richard and their daughter were all before civil registration and so it is more difficult to confirm facts.
