I had a 2 x Gt granddad who died in 1868 as a ferryman & shoemaker at the side of the river Aire in Knottingley, Yorkshire, he had been called to ferry a man across the river, unfortunately Gt granddad fell out of the boat crossing the river to pick the man up at the otherside in a fast flow of the river and drowned.
