Hi,
I'm looking for any information on lock keeping at Haddon.
We have an ancestor Thomas Goodliffe on the 1851 census whoose occupation is a Lock Keeper, he is 75 years old so i'm assuming he's a retired lock keeper. His place of birth was listed as Leicester Haddon but in 1851 he was living in Tallington in Lincs.
I know that there are Locks at Watford near West haddon in Northamptonshire. The leicester reference is confusing however it could be that it is listed due to the canal being the Grand Union Canal leicester.
Any thoughts are welcome.
thank you

Hi JenB,
This information is excellent thanks, lots to think about. My mistake it was the 1861 census that he appears on. The canal was closed in 1863 according to wikipedia. We cannot read the census very well so we are guessing somewhat.
On the off chance do you know of anywhere called Headdon in Leicester?
Thank you

It looks as if Thomas was also working as a lock-keeper in Tallington in the 1841 census.
Have you got the entry?

Hi Jen
No we don't have that entry - can you tell us the details please?
Where is he listed as being born?
Many thanks

Unfortunately the 1841 doesn't give place of birth - only whether or not the person was born in or out of the county in which they were residing. In this case Thomas is shown as born outside of Lincolnshire.
He is entered as Thomas Goodley, but given that he has an 18 year old son called Charles and in the 1861 he has a 38 year old son called Charles I think it has to be the right person.
HO 107/ 623/ Book 1/ Folio 8/ Page 8
Tallington
Thomas Goodley, 50, lock keeper, N
Elenor do, 50, N
Charles do, 18, Y
George do, 16, Y
Charlotte do, 3, Y
Note that in this census ages for adults were usually rounded down to the nearest 5 years.

Yes, there are two options for haddon, one near daventry, the other nr peterbo'.
I've attached an image to see if anyone has another idea as to the location of Thomas Goodliffes place of birth? or which is most likely.

Hi ricky1,
It could well be, the Haddon checks out and his age is within 2yrs to the 1861. The rest of his family seem to be elusive and change over the period 1841-1861.
thanks v. mucy for the info.

Hi ricky  It could well be Yiannis, I would say it was definitely the same family all the way through.
People were much more vague about their ages then than we are now.
Hi Jen
I would say its the same family, got no doubt about that

I think you're right, I don't have charles and elizabeth on the 1851, if you could find them that would be great.
thanks
