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

Yes, there was an ironworks in the area:

Here are some pictures of Gloucester City from that period:

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

I know you posted this a few years ago, but I just came across it. I actually lived at 228 Market for about 15 years. There was no house on the lot next to mine. There was a small building that was a little restaurant. I always thought there must have been a house there at one time. Can you give me his name? Gloucester City is a tight knit little town. I'm bound to know someone who might know something.

hi, thanks for responding. The man's name was Charles Francis Griffin. He would have been born around the 1880s in Ontario, Canada. anything you can offer is appreciated.

I'll see what I can find out. The address you are talking about is only one block from the river. And there was a ferry from Gloucester to Phila. He may have worked across the river. I can e mail you pictures of my house on Market street showing the empty lot next door if you'd like.

That would be great! thanks so much for offering.
please e-mail them to me directly at:
