I can appreciate the time it has taken to get them just right on the site. I am familiar with all of the bridges, except the one at Portway, Shirehampton. My favourite is the M4 Junction 19 one as I have passed that so many times over the decades. It's always interesting when a train goes across it as you are travelling on the motorway. I see that the photographer has picked the right moment to take a photograph of this striking bridge. But both Bristol Bridge and Clifton Suspension Bridge come a close second. In my mind's eye, after seeing many old photographs of it, I think of Bristol Bridge and its surroundings as it was in the early 20th century so it's nice to see a modern photograph of it for a change. -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com

Is anyone able to access birth/bap information around 1804? I'm looking for Josiah BLEWETT. Parents were married April 1804 St. Michael Gloucester, John BLEWETT and Nancy COLEMAN. Josiah is believed to have been born 1803/04. I can find no children born to them prior to Samuel b. 1808 Longhope and Winifred b.June 27,1812 Longhope. I've checked the Gloucester Family History Society's page and they have nothing prior to 1813. This search has been going on for many years and any help anyone can provide would be most appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion, Eliz, but it's almost certainly Gloucester - he was living in Dynevor Street in the city, which I see still exists. I'll have a look at the National Archives & see what I can find.

Hi Listers, Does anyone have any information about the above company in Gloucester during WWII. My father appears to have been working for them between 1941 & 1944. I say 'appears' because I thought he spent all his working life in carriage & wagon railway works at Swindon - in fact he received a watch for 45 years service in 1970! Were people seconded for the war effort but retained their service record for the lending company? I have a carbon copy of a letter from the company to the Ministry of Labour & National Service challenging his call-up (on form N.S.250) since they felt he had indefinite deferment. Unfortunately, being a carbon copy, the company's address is not on the letter. Initial research into the company suggests that in peacetime they made car bodies & had a Head Office in Coventry, but I've no idea where they were in the Gloucester area or what they were involved in for the war effort. Geoff Morse Hitchin, Herts

>From The Register (Adelaide, South Australia: 1901-1929), Tuesday 1 February 1927, page 6: Mr. Albert Glastonbury, whose death at the age of 86 years, occurred recently at the Adelaide Hospital, as the result of an accident, was a well-known resident of the Hindmarsh district for nearly 44 years. He was born in the village of Leighterton, Gloucestershire. At the age of 18 years he came to South Australia, and entered the employment of Mr. G. Fife Angas, and later of his son, Mr. John Howard Angas, as coachman at Angaston. He could recall happy associations of those days. During the visit of the present King and his brother (then Prince George and Prince Clarence), Mr. Glastonbury was the official coachman. After having left Angaston, he was a warder in the Adelaide Hospital for 26 years. Mr. Glastonbury was an elder and trustee of the Hindmarsh Church of Christ for 44 years, and often preached for the denomination. He was a prime mover in the establishment of the Church of Christ at Henley Beach and York. Mr. Glastonbury was a great lover of Nature, and as a hobby, wrote poetry and prose. The deceased has left a widow at Hindmarsh (nee Miss Margaret Greig, of Nuriootpa), and a family of four-Mr. Albert W. G. Glastonbury, of York; Mrs. Rosetta Clarke, of Croydon; and Mr. Howard C. Glastonbury; and Miss Margaret Roth Glastonbury, both of Hindmarsh. There are also four grandchildren.
