Biography

A descendant of Sir John Glanville MP (1542–1600), and Sir John Glanville MP (1586–1661), the Speaker of the House of Commons, and the grandson of Rt. Hon. Reginald Pole-Carew MP (1753–1835), Francis Glanville was born at Hexworthy House in Lawhitton, Cornwall, on 19 March 1827, and educated at Bedford School.[1] He received his first commission in the Royal Artillery as a Second Lieutenant on 19 December 1844, and was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 2 April 1846.[2] He was promoted to the rank of Colonel on 29 December 1872, and retired from the Royal Artillery as a Major General on 14 July 1877.[3][4]

On Sept 3, 1860, whilst stationed in Gibraltar, Glanville married Dona Maria Concepcion Guadalupe, the daughter of Don Francis Carreras, with whom he had seven sons and five daughters. Major General Francis Glanville died in Plymouth on 11 February 1910, aged 82.[5] His widow died on 12 February 1922 at Plymouth. They were both buried at St Germans, Cornwall, England, where there is a nice memorial to them inside the church.
