Escort in 1905 in this John gives his occupation as a lockkeeper both witness where from the Harrison canal boat family  (part of my family tree).
About 15 years ago i was on a historic narrowboat @ Leighton Buzzard when an elderly lady in her 70's stopped on the path to look at the boat i got talking to her & told her i was from the Harrison boat family & she knew some of my people  .she came back later that day with some family photos to show me & allowed me to take photos of her photos we made plans to meet at the Braunston historic boat show  but she never showed i later learned that she had sadly gone to the great cut in the sky .I still have the copies of these photos  if you send me a pm with your e/mail add i will forward you them
