The TAVENER families you have may be of interest but it is a long shot. My Jane GROVES at one point on a marriage record gave her maiden name as Tavener-Groves and the George Groves on the Timandra had Tavener as his middle christian name. I suspect it might be from Mary Groves' side of the family. In fact George Groves later was known as George Tavener....all very confusing! Although I'm sure my Jane belongs to this family I just can't make the right connection to confirm it. SSE. He was an Agricultural Labourer in 1842.
