6 years ago I posted the following message, and from one of the replies I learned that Gloucester City is in Camden (I posted to the wrong County). Perhaps I'll have better luck here, so I am re-posting it. It is my hope that someone would be able to photograph this building and e-mail it to me. Thanks so much,

* I have an ancestor that up and left. No one saw or heard from him in about 8 years. Turns out he's joined the army, and is heading to England. I found his attestation papers and he enlisted in Toronto, Ontario, but his place of residence is 226 Market St. Gloucester, N.J. USA. His occupation is Ironworker.
Can anyone who may be a resident of Gloucester tell me anything about 226 Market St.?
Is/was there an ironworks in the area?
I knew nothing about this relative other than he died in 1918 in the war, and I am anxious to learn what I can about his life in NJ.
thanks so much,
Melissa Matt

For photo help, there's a facebook group for the Gloucester City Historical Society - they might help.
