John William Glover 1891-1917


For many years the fate of Emily Kate Couch's son has been a mystery. I have now found what became of this poor orphan. After his parents' deaths the child was cared for by his Aunt Margaret, William Glover's sister, who had married Frederick Taylor. They lived in Leeds with Harry Glover.

In WWI John was killed in France and is buried at the Douchy-Les-Ayette British Cemetery. The following is the entry at the War Graves Commission website:

In Memory of
Private JOHN WILLIAM GLOVER
19/1473, 13th Bn., Northumberland Fusiliers
who died age 27
on 30 March 1917
Son of William Glover, of g Brudenell Rd., Hyde Park, Leeds.
Remembered with honour
