Hi,
I thought you'd like to know that my connection with boatmen and women is through the Moore family and Elizabeth (Moore) Fradley married Joshua Fradley, March Quarter 1921 Wolstanton District, following the death of Samuel in 1920.
Regards, Jackie.

Hi Jackie, nice to hear from you. Joshua was my ggrandad's brother (Thomas), do you by any chance have a photo of them, my uncle Bill remembers going and visiting Joshua when he lived at Albermarl Road, did you know that Joshua and Thomas both owed boats from the age of 13. Sorry about the mix up about Joshua and Elizabeth not being married I was told this by Joshua's ggrandaughter, she had tried to get their marriage cert and couldn't find a record of it only that of Samuel the other brother and Elizabeth.. but i will pass on to her the info you have given me, and thanks for that....regards Janet

Hi Janet,
The only picture I have of Joshua and Elizabeth is via Ancestry.com. and is attached. Unfortunately I haven't got any other photos. I've been trying to find family photos for years. I hope this helps.

Hi Janet,
Thanks, it would be nice to have some photos. Let me know if the one of Joshua and Elizabeth is too small, because I've found the same one, but a little larger.
Regards, Jackie

Hi Jackie sorry yes it was too small, are you on ancestry.com? is it easier to send it to my tree? I don't know not very good with the computor, my tree goes under Pass and Doorbar, as soon as I sort those photo's out and I get them scanned I will send you those photo's. Have to take them into work for a work mate to do them for me even though I have a 18year old who is a IT Tech but it's hard enough just getting him out of bed...regards Janet

Hi Janet,
Unfortunately the photo of Joshua and Elizabeth is quite small, but this one is a little better, although if you enlarge it too much it becomes blurred.
Regards, Jackie.

Sorry about this Janet but for some reason it hasn't worked again, I'll have a go at sending it to you via Ancestry.
