Hi

I am interested in some of these names - Brooks, Bunn, Stubbs and Brookes.  They appear on Gerald Cresswell's Canal Boatmen site - which I gave him some of the information, so if you have any more I would be very interested.

Thanks.

Jackie :)

hi ann they are all families of my husbands, he is from the harrison line and we have been researching for over 5 years now, with the help of family and friends and a lot of research this is how far we have got, we are hoping that if people have any of the families listed will tell us and we can list their info, and any photo's too ;D

Kerry

I have seen some of the pictures in assorted books and recognise some of the Ward names in the families section but i'm not connected in any way. I really like the way the site works too, the book format looks really good and is easy to use.

Would you mind if i added your site as a link on the canal section of FTF?
