Hi There

If I get chance when on Christmas/New Year holiday in WOR (12 miles from the History Centre) I will have a quick look for the Monk family - you said they were boatbuilders, well Stourport is a hell of a good place to look

All the very best

ps I spend 3 holidays a year in WOR so may be able to do more about April if you can wait that long

just spotted this web site and monk by accident, My name is Jeremy 'Monk'-Hawksworth, I'm a direct descendent of Joeseph Benjamin Monk he was my great great grandfather, my father knows all the history. Also I've met Jack Monk he's the great grandson of thomas monk, not sure if he's still alive, I met him by accident (again) at a British Waterways do. hope this helps

[jezmh]

Oh yes forgot, We're not just any old Monks my family were boat builders!

Hi sc1

I know it will be a very long job but as I couldnt find your Monk's at Stourport I wonder if its worth you trying to work your way up/down the Severn to try & trace them

All the very best

Phil

ps if I were you I would also put this on a WOR mailing list - if your uncertain of the mailing list address's see GENUKI as they are on there
