     Henry Edward Glanville immigrated after 1864 to SA, AUS.
      Henry Edward Glanville, son of English clerk, Henry Harrap Glanville, and his wife Ann (maiden name Brown) was born on March 20, 1844, at St. Saviour, Shoreditch, in the county of Middlesex, England. By the time of the 1851 census of the United Kingdom, he is shown as a young school boy, residing with his grandparents, Charles and Jane Brown, at the village of Felpham, in Sussex County, England.
In March of 1863 he sailed for America, arriving there in the very midst of the Civil War. On October 6, 1863, he enlisted in the United States Navy, at the Cherrie Street Naval Rendezvous, New York, and was immediately sent aboard the Receiving vessel, the North Carolina. After completion of his initial training aboard this vessel, he was sent aboard the USS Pembina, in the West Gulf Blockading Squadron, where he remained until discharged from the service November 9th, 1863, for re-enlistment in the United States Army. He enlisted in the 84th Regiment, New York Volunteers (famously known as the 14th New York State Militia, or 14th Brooklyn), at Brooklyn, New York, on November 17th, 1863, and joined company H of the regiment at Culpepper Court House, Virginia.
By an act of Congress, he was transferred back for service in the Navy, again, about the month of May, 1864, and was sent aboard the receiving vessel at Philadelphia, the Princeton, and then to the USS Saratoga, South Atlantic Blockading Squadron. He was then transferred to the ironclad monitor USS Lehigh, operating in the waters off Charleston, South Carolina, and finally served on the James River before he was discharged at Philadelphia, in July of 1865.
Rejoining the United States Navy, after the war, he served on the China station, aboard the flagship, USS Colorado, and then on the USS Ashuelot, and was discharged at Yokohama, Japan, after three years service. Glanville then made his way to the colony of South Australia, where he was engaged in woodcutting. It was while he was employed in this occupation that a fire engulfed his hut, which destroyed his personal effects, including his military and naval documentation acquired from his Civil War and post war services.
On the 24th of February, 1891, while a resident of the town of Port Pirie, in South Australia, Glanville filled out a statement, detailing his service in the United States, and requested copies of his discharge certificates through the United States Consul (another source records "in a letter to the United States consul in Melbourne, dated March 21, 1891, Glanville requests copies of his discharge papers, as his 'five' discharge papers and other effects were destroyed when his tent caught fire"). The statement includes a description of Henry Edward Glanville, indicating that he was a man of spare build, standing at five feet, seven and a half inches tall, of light complexion, and was stated, at that point in time, to be growing a full beard and moustache.
In July, 1892, Glanville was admitted to the Port Pirie Hospital, and died of plumbism on July 24, 1892, occupation recorded as labourer. He was buried, the next day, in the Port Pirie Cemetery; Common Protestant Section, lot 37, grave 8. According to Mr. David Evans, records/Administration Officer of the Port Pirie Regional Council, he was buried, and recorded, however, under the name of Henry Edward ‘Granville’; not Glanville as has been reported. There is also a headstone on the burial site with the name of ‘James Ramsay’ who was buried there on June 19, 1917 at the age of 42 years. Somewhere down the line they must have been relatives, as Port Pirie Cemetery does not reuse old graves. The lease on the gravesite is current until the year 2047.

Kenneth E. Glanville
Kenneth E. Glanville, age 92, passed away at his home in Oakland on June 25. He was born in Livingston, California in September of 1925 to Oscar and Ethel Glanville. Ken and his older brother, George, grew up in Oakland, where Ken graduated from Oakland Tech High School.
After high school, Ken entered an aeronautics program in Oakland with Pan American Airways. During World War II, Ken enlisted in the U.S. Navy Seabees as part of an agreement between the Navy and PanAm. When the contract between PanAm and the Navy concluded, Ken continued to serve his country in the Army through the conclusion of the war. After the war ended, Ken returned to Oakland and worked for PanAm for four decades beginning as a mechanic, then as a lead mechanic and finally as an inspector. Ken witnessed the evolution of aeronautics firsthand, from the post-war Sikorsky and Boeing "Clippers" to the Boeing 747.
In retirement, Ken was dedicated to health and physical fitness, and was a dutiful member of his health club.
Ken lived in the same house, meticulously kept, for more than 80 years, in the Piedmont Avenue neighborhood. Handy with tools and always willing to help, he was dearly loved and respected by all of his neighbors. He told wonderful stories about how he had seen the neighborhoods change over the years. He enjoyed wood working and photography. He filled photo albums with pictures and slides from his travels around the world, and of his beloved family.
Ken had a kind and generous heart, and was a role model for many. He will be missed by his nieces Mary and Barrie, his nephews Adam and Paul, and his great-nephews and -niece Ken, Kale, John and Kara, as well as his many friends and neighbors. A memorial is planned for September.
