Staffordshire / Re: strays on the canals

Hello John.
Thankyou for asking me whether i had any information about William Gibbons and Fanny his wife.
I am afraid i do not have anything very exciting, but
2 pieces of information which might be of help to you.
From BMD on the internet
Thomas Gibbons married Hannah Marshall in the June Quarter of 1895 at Runcorn
and from information I recieved from the Boat Museum in Ellesmere -port many
years ago I see that a Wm Gibbons was the master of a Flat boat 'Fannie' in 1947. The boat was owned by R and Abel.
if your William was on a flat boat then he was not a Canal Boatman and as such I cannot help you any more.
You need to speak to someone that is researching Flat men...who mostly were on the River Weaver.
Good luck with your research

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm indeed this thread is still being used, and i know that a lot of people look at it to see if by any chance their folk are mentioned.
To be honest with you I have no idea about Kent or any canals in Kent.
This thread started because people researching Canal Boatmen found that the only way to find their folk was to chase up and down the Canals, and as the main body of Canals is in Central England it helped if we kept our eyes open and then passed on information....................
When you talk of Mariner/Boatman
I have the feeling that you are probably talking about men that went to sea.
I might be wrong,, but living near to the sea ,it is more than likely that your ancestors were Sailors....................
The Canals were the inland sea and they were Canal Boatmen that used them.
As far as Brick moulding goes .pass..................have no idea.................
If the Smith born in 1816 was the daughter of a Canal Boatman then you would need to research the Trent and Mersey Canal............... see what Churches there were along thebanks and see if you could locate any more of the family and then bring them up to the 1841 census..........where there would be reference to the mens occupations.
To be honest I think you need to do a little more research into the structure of the family and then branch outwards ................ it would be more rewarding to do that.

Hello
Document is the marriage of James Joseph in 1923 in West Derby [age given as 31 ]Father is called Gus Dailey and occupation is carpenter [ but he is deseased] [also have sons birth cert and again those are the names he uses!]
Thing is, James Joseph appears to come into England via Liverpool on a boat!! and then marries and then disappears .......................
where to?? we have no idea........... so it is rather a quest
so although you think that maybe the James you have found is not right it could be that he is the one!
as yet it is early days to be making judgement........
do we know how old this James you have found is???
[that James Joseph changes his name to Dailey when he comes to England is really at this point in time inmaterial.]
so any input would be very welcome
Sallie [canal woman ]
