Hello Lynne, Hello list, Thank you all for the continued interest in my inquiry. My ancestor died on the 9th of September 1808 and The CAMBRIAN newspaper records it as follows "Suddenly, yesterday, se'nnight, at Arley-Hall, Worcestershire, on his journey to London, in his 72nd year, Samuel Glover, Esq. of Abercarne, Monmouthshire." and in the ATHENAEUM Magazine....... under the heading WORCESTERSHIRE "At Areley-hall, aged 72, Samuel Glover, Esq. of Abercarne, Monmouthshire" I'm now investigating if it was possible that he was travelling by canal boat to London. SG was a past High Bailiff of Birmingham (1786) and a member of the Birmingham Commercial Committee. regards .... Robert Glover
