Hello, I am new to the list and am seeking information on the early history of the first? Coventry gasworks. My 2 x great grandfather's first job in England after leaving Scotland was as a gas engineer in that city. When his first two children were born between 1850 and 1852 the family was residing on Gas Street. Soon afterwards he moved to London and was involved with Alexander Angus Croll, another Scot with interests in gas generation, and later the leassor of the Coventry Gasworks. My ancestor's name was David Methven 1817 - 1867. Thanks Nick
