Background
Andrew Glanvill was a twice-married Devonian Accountant / Bank Cashier / Banker's Clerk and Bookseller who was born in
Plymouth November 30, 1798 and who died in Exeter January 27, 1879 (in the presence of his
2nd wife and 12 of his 18 children).
He lived in Taunton, Somerset when an unordained Minister at the Octagon
Baptist Chapel 1821-26; was lay pastor in the 1840s at Ide and Bradninch near Exeter, and pastor of
the Baptist Church at Shaldon near Teignmouth 1861-64.
He worked for 44 years with the Devon and Exeter Saving Bank, and with his wife ran a bookshop in Exeter in around 1850.
The booklet may have been published by his son Andrew who was a printer / compositor in London.
Andrew (senior) was my 3rd great-granduncle.
Errors
It is probable that in the transcribing of this, a few mistakes have been made.
I am happy to have potential errors pointed out (via email) for me to check and hence improve the quality of
the transcription for all.
