Scrooge Lived in Gloucester ?

[@wendingourway]

Actually have seen three versions of Scrooge over the holidays so far...I think there is another on this evening I may catch...sort of a Christmas tradition. May you and yours have a very happy Christmas and all the best in 2023! Bruce and Otis

Wow, you found Jame’s tomb stone, very cool. Really enjoyed that and thanks for the shout out. Hope you’re both well x 🍻

Hi Mike and Teresa Happy New Year 😊 that’s a lot of adjectives he used to describe Scrooge. Great history and video

Loved it. Great video. I sort of know about the Gloucester Miser but only as a character and not about the person. Dickens travelled to many towns and cities all over the country, and although you may be right in the association with Scrooge, there may be other people from his travels who influenced the final character. Bah humbug!

[@MikeandTeresaExplore]

Hi Alice, you may be right. But the fact James was such a miser and horrible person. I understand the people of Gloucester stoned his coffin parade and some I spoke too also hated him even though they didn't know him. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and we'll see you next year at the next meet up.

What a lovely gathering of great YTers. I love your detective work. I can honestly say your story and the facts you presented make me believe that James was indeed the Scrooge Charles Dickens wrote about. If not, he possibly had a twin. Wishing you both a Merry Christmas and most certainly a healthy happy and adventuresome 2023. 🎄🎶🙏✴🎄🇳🇿🧑‍🎄🇳🇱

Yes it was great to meet some new friends in Shrewsbury. Yes I think most people do believe James was likely to be the character Scrooge was based on. Thanks hope you had a great Christmas and a fabulous 2023 also. M&T

Good job. I enjoyed that. I'm living in Gloucester and know of Jemmy. Apparently people threw pennies at his coffin when it passed. But that seems hard to believe. Rotting fruit maybe.....😏

[@MikeandTeresaExplore]

Really pleased you enjoyed it. Yes I'd also read somewhere about pennies being through at his coffin. I just couldn't get any confirmation. Am thinking of trying find more info in press archives but will take time. M&T

[@felixfelix7447]

There is one small book about him in Gloucester library archives ....

This was so interesting! Your video was done so well really enjoyed this. Your findings were most likely true that James was Scrooge?? Great video!

[@MikeandTeresaExplore]

Thanks, yes I too feel James must of been Scrooge. M&T

Jemmy Wood is my idol and I'm the exact same way just like him because I'm a miser too but a New York American version of Jemmy Wood/Ebenezer Scrooge
