    3. Hi list My 2 x gt grandfather, John BURLEY, born 1825 in Quarry Bank, is listed on the census as 'Provisions dealer'. There is a story from years back within the family, that he was part of a company selling fruit, vegetables and greengrocery in Birmingham Market and traded as GOVER & BURLEY. There is to this day, a building in Digbeth Birmingham which has the name, Glover & Burley Bldg, but I can find nothing more about the background of my ancestor or this company - is there anyone out there that can assist please ?
