First of all I apologise if this offends you and I don't really know how to say it other than "How computer literate are you?"
Is it possible for you to copy the files to CD? I will pay any costs involved.
If you say "No" I will understand and will not be offended.
Cheers,
Barrie

I have a feeling that Mrs Bingham started the list and it was taken over by John Roberts.
I am about to write to John, I don't think he has an Internet connection, I will check and let you know.

Good Morning
Yes I believe that the list mentioned is the one which John Roberts of Sutton Coldfield has.
John has kindly sorted our several Glover occurrences for me from his records but he has not supplied the entire catalogue of names, I shall write and ask him if I can purchase that from him.
The answer to your other question about my canal connections is; I live a few feet from the Stourbridge arm of the Midlands canal system and I enjoy walking and photographing various aspect of the canals but other than having ancestors that apparently worked on the canals there is no other connection.
Thanks for your obvious interest.

Hi
I have William & Elizabeth's marriage certificate, William's father is named as Samuel on it and his occupation is listed as being a boatman.
I will keep trying, once again many thanks.

Hi
Happy New Year.
Many thanks for your suggestion but I have already discounted this one, my William was a boatman who was apparently born circa 1871 and definitely married Elizabeth Woodcock in St Michael's, Brierley Hill, (Dudley) on November 10th 1895. There are several birth dates listed for William Glover's around the 1971 date, I am almost at the point of buying all of the certificates to get the right guy.
It is his father Samuel, also a boatmen, who is very illusive.
My searches to date show that there were families of Glover's who were boat builders in Bewdley, Stourport and Worcester all on the River Severn and I have been amazed by the number of Glovers' who were working on the canals that have shown up over the past few days of my search, unfortunately not the right one so far.
I am hopeful that the culprit will turn up soon, once again many thanks for your suggestion.

Hi All
I’m completely new to this situation and feel a little unsure of what to do first, but anyhow here goes.
I am trying to find details about my ancestors some of whom I believe were boat people; I assume they worked on the inland waterway systems.
I have recently obtained my great grandfather’s marriage certificate and on it his occupation is described as being a “Boatman”, also on that certificate his father’s occupation is recorded as being a “Boatman”.
My great grandfather was William Henry Glover and he was born in Dudley, Worcestershire, England in 1871, his father was Samuel Glover according to the marriage certificate and I have been unable to find any more information about him.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction, any help provided would be greatly appreciated.
Best wishes for Christmas
