Can you give us the family names,birthdates. We can have a look in the 1851 census.

Hi Robert, I would imagine that John worked on the Canal, somewhere?  If he was just a Labourer he would have been employed to load and unload Cargo on and off the Narrow Boats, so I wouldn't think he worked on any particular Boat.  You can try Dudley Archives, ask them, but I doubt if many records of employment are available?  Best of luck from Linell.

John was a boatman and not a labourer so he may have worked on either the coal barges or salt barges as that was the main cargo in that period
many thanks Robert
