How can I get hold of a copy of that book, 'A Calendar of the Registers of the Freemen of the City of Gloucester, 1641-1838' ?

Albert Phelps was made a Freeman of the City of Gloucester in July 1892 and was "admitted by his fathers copy".

Albert's father, Edwin, was made a Freeman of the City of Gloucester in July 1847 and was also "admitted by his fathers copy".

Presumably Edwin's father, William Phelps, a farmer in Rudford, was also a Freeman of the City of Gloucester but it is here I get stuck. Would your book allow me to go back and back?

Are the Registers of the Freemen of the City of Gloucester available on-line anywhere ?
