A maker’s mark for Ann Glover, presumably the wife of Samuel Glover I, appears in the Goldworkers List entered on 2nd October 1809 from 4 Noble Street. Samuel Glover II entered his first mark from 4 Bull & Mouth Street on 5th October 1809 (see above) having previously been recorded at the Noble Street address. There was seemingly a need for his mother to register a separate mark at this address.
