Hi  Ann,

Thank you for your reply re: Fradley connections. Unfortunately, as I am new to this site, I am having trouble trying to contact you and i am being told that i need to make 3 posts before I can reply. I will therefore try again when I have made them. Thank you again. Jan

Hi Kerry, I think your website is great, I found quite a lot of boatmen on three pages of 1841 census in Harbourne, Staffs whilst looking for my Godfrey/Bishops boatmen family. HO 107/980/7 p.30, 31 & 32.
John Bishop (boatman) married Sarah Ann Godfrey in 1843 her parents were William Godfrey (boatman) and Sarah Holbrook. Any info on these families would be useful. I a beginner at this site and not sure how to post this message, I clicked on quote but I don't think thats right, how do I post a message properly?

I am researching the descendants of Betsy HARRISON and Thomas WILLINGTON who married in the Wolverhampton area (probably Tettenhall) in 1854. I have just ordered their marriage cert so, hopefully, will know more soon. Do you have any info on this canal family?
