Hello looking for a bit of help,managed to track my great,great grandad george jacques ,his birth date is 1816 in wem shropshire,in his early life he was a boatman and later on a master grocer,we can't trace him before the 1851 census ans some one suggested that he may ahve travelled around on the boat and therefore be difficult to trace! Are the any site specifically for boatmen and there families!! any help would be great.
many thanks Jake

Many thanks for the advice!!! George was born 1816 and was 45 in the census of 1861,we now think he may be in the 1851 census,but under george jacks(in later census he is jacques)he is down as being born in wem shropshire,and later married elizabeth,he live in shropshire,stoke and natwich were he later become a master grocer,he has two children annie and thomas who were down as being born in chester and the rest of his kids are born in auldlem and stoke.they are rueban,jessie and george!There is a George Jacques born to a Joseph Jacques and ann Jacques in 1816 in warickshire although it is hard to find a direct link.But there is a anna jakes living in1851 cesus who is 73,with george,elizabeth,ann and thomas,the ages fit although the name is spelt differently.Is there a canal link between warickshire and shropshie? sorry for waffling!!!
