There is an Ann Glover on the 1841 census living in Walton On The Hill. Can't tell her place of birth though other than not born in Lancashire. But that leaves it open to the possibility that she was from Shropshire. But an approx birth year of 1776 would mean she was 32 when she married James Glover.

This is the only Ann Glover I could find in Liverpool in 1851 but she was born in Scotland not Shropshire so does seem to be of much help to you.

I wonder where these unmarried children were in 1841. Do you know the names of any of their children to compare these with?
Looking at the parish registers for Shropshire is interesting.

James son of Ann with no father listed and just before your Ann married James Glover! !
Name: Nancy Poston
Christening 13 Oct 1779 WHITCHURCH,SHROPSHIRE,ENGLAND
Father's Name: Charles Poston
Mother's Name: Anne

The names Nan and Nancy are interchangeable with Ann.
Could be your Charles and Ann/Nancy are siblings each named after one of their parents.
A possible marriage for your Charles Poston
Name: Charles Poston Spouse Mary Yardley
Marriage 08 Jun 1809 Whitchurch,Shropshire,England

And this baptism makes it look even more likely that Ann and Charles were brother and sister.

There are other children of Charles and Ann.
But proving this Ann in Whitchurch is the same one in Liverpool is going to be hard. Unless you are lucky enough to find a baptism for one of Ann's children which states that Ann was from Whitchurch.... It does occasionally happen with non-conformist chapels
