There is an assumption that this is not the same person as [[Jim Groves]] although both lived in [[London]] with J. W. in the south-west and Jim in the east. Jim Groves does not appear in [[Ron Bennett]]'s [[Directory of Science Fiction Fandom|directories]] until 1958 and on one interpretation of his date of birth was only 10 or 11 in 1949 although there is an ambiguity over whether he was born in 1938 or 1928. Most conclusively, ''[[Who's Who in Fandom]]'' of 1961 says Jim Groves only got involved in fandom in 1959. This means this page is now more about Jim Groves than J. W. Groves but sadly we know very little about the latter.
