Regards, Ann
is this where you meant us to post answers to your message? Sorry still learning how WT works! If we are to document who lived and worked on the waterways do we need to include counties in the categories? E.g. I know that canal boat folk had their babes christened at Calveley chapel in Cheshire from when chapel was bult in 1850s but the current categories would not capture that? thanks
I'm interested please though some of my ancestors were water gypsies on the Grand canal in Ireland. I live close to the Shropshire union canal and have holidayed several times on barges.
I have an interest in some of our canals and waterways. My 3* great grandfather William Lund(e) , Lund-1047, BIRTH 26 MAR 1738 Rowley, Yorkshire, England was Lock Keeper on the Market Weighton Canal in Faxfleet, Yorkshire at the point where it joins the Humber ' Weighton Lock ' when my 2* great grandmother Harriet Lund, Lund-1048 , was born there 12 Jul 1806 .
