No idea why my mail took so long to arrive. I have searched game lists for the Bristol papers, & found several comprehensive lists for Somerset, but sadly none for Gloucestershire. I wonder whether the Gloucester records office may have them ..

Hilary, You will only find the GAME Lists in whatever paper was the main edition for Gloucestershire. Bristol will not have a seperate list, not on my understanding anyway. Try putting the name [name only, nothing else] you are researching into Gale and then check every entry. It should come up in a Game List if your bloke had a Licence. If he didn't apply for a Licence then he will not show up.
