Trow owners in the Forest of Dean (General)

Hi Slowhands,

I note you mention the book Severn Traders: The West Country Trows and Trowmen - Colin Green ISBN 09533028 2 2. I live in the north of Scotland and it will take me ages to get a copy of this through my local library and as you quoted from it I am hoping you may have a copy. If you have would you be so kind as to see if there is anything about my great-great grandfather's death in it. His name was Samuel Bush, master mariner, and on 2nd September 1898 he was drowned when the Barge Industry hit the Severn Bridge when he was in charge of the tiller. Thank you.

Claire
