anything from kelly's directories ?

[runningbear]

at present i am researching Robert john glover..born 1896

Robert last known address was 35 Wilberforce street in 1919 when he enlisted into the army.

if some kind soul can check the Kelly's directories or access any other means of information regarding Robert it would be greatfully appreciated.

robert married 1914 to clara bell hindley.

hi debbie,

sorry it has taken so long to get back to you.

i had to rethink this one....

all i can assume is that he spent more time in the army than i orginally thought, hence the reason he is not on any directories.

hello again
Don't know if you subscribe to ancestry.com or not but thought you'd like to know this.
On there are WW1 army pension records, only recently completed. I had a good look the other night and found a few of my rellies on it.
Anyway I'm a subscriber and just had a look and your Robert John Glovers records are on there. It's the right guy as it mentioned the Wilberforce St address.
Would be happy to send you the info on there if you not a subscriber to that site.
Kind regards
Debbie
