Council web site research.

I mentioned some time ago that I have been looking at various council web sites and have been researching them to see if they have any "j type" vehicle records.
One of the best I have found is Gloucester Councils web site. These are the ones I have so far found.
KFH329 JR14117, EAST DEAN RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL,
KFH615 JR15204 GLOUCESTER NEWSPAPERS
MFH207 JR21562 GLOUCESTER DAIRY SUPPLY
NFH346 JR25614 S.J.TOWNSEND
NFH657 JR27230 L.H.FERRIS
OFH978 JR30237 GLOUCESTER CO-OP.
RFH737 JR35921 " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " ".
SFH919 JBMR37817 " " " " " " " " " " " " " " .
UFH883 JBMR 4150X R.A.LEOPOLD, CHELTENHAM, BAKERY.
VFH234 JBMR42246 PARAGON LAUNDRY,CHELTENHAM
YFH144 JBMR4045X GLOUCESTER, CO-OP.
2070FH JBAR46987 GLOUCESTER CO-OP.
2071FH JBAR47276 GLOUCESTER CO-OP.
The chassis numbers with an "X" in them have a digit missing, these vehicles date from 1952 right up 1960, covering the J, JB and 101 versions, I would think that there were many other J types sold in Gloucestershire in the twelve year production run of the J type, maybe other records will be added over time.
Do check out your local council site, you never know what might be lurking on there.
