Hello
I realise this might be grasping at straws because of the very limited amount of information I have but I would appreciate any advice from anyone who may have undertaken research in Lincolnshire.
I am searching for information regarding ancestors. The were a family of boatbuilders named Washington who moved from England to Ireland in the 18th century. Unfortunately there are next to no useful records available from Ireland pre-1800 so the information we have is very limited - we do not know when in the 18th century they moved or from where. There is a strong likelihood they came from Boston in Lincolnshire (we have also heard reference to the Broads and Lancashire).
I would be very grateful if anyone could advise of any sources that could be researched that may identify the names of boatbuilders in Boston in the 18th century. I recognise this is very much a shot in the dark but I would be delighted to hear from any locals who may be able to direct me (of course I would also love to hear from anyone who has actually come across this family in their own research)
