Profiles Mentioned:

This Thomas Grove is NOT the same as Thomas Parnham Groves. They were two different people, although born in the same year, 1817, in London. T P Groves is the son of Frances Parnham and William Groves but the Thomas to whom this note applies is from a different family. That much is definitely correct. DO NOT MERGE THEM TOGETHER OR PUT THEM IN THE SAME FAMILY. Apart from the impossibility of there being two sons called Thomas born in the same year, they are almost certainly from different social strata. The Groves/Parnham family christenings and weddings take place at St George's Hanover Square and St Martin in the Fields - there were very well-to-do areas at the time. The other Thomas brings his family up in Hillingdon, Uxbridge, and they are all painters, plumbers and domestic servants. T P Groves married Jane Roper and T Grove married Lucy Philpott.
