  CANAL COAL BOATS.—Apply to Mr. John Hambridge, Cassington Wharf, Ensham, near Oxford

Thursday 13 August 1908
  Banbury Advertiser
  Oxfordshire


 The following canal boats registered  “Emma” for Mr. Thomas Hambridge. Banbury;  “Ocean.” for Mr. Henry Hambridge. Banbury . and “William ,” for Mr. William Hambridge, Nuneaton. Alderman Cooper seconded, and humorously commented upon the naming of canal boat as  “Queen of the Ocean. I suppose it refers to the time when we shall have a Ship Canal in Banbury. Chard said be remembered a boat being named “Mind your  business”. (Laughter). The report was adopted.

At the time of our wedding, said Mr. Hambridge my wages were 13s, weekly, and I was employed as captain on one of my uncle's canal boats, when the carrying trade was much more brisk than it is to-day. I was Married on the Sunday, the following day i return to work (honeymoons were not so popular in our day), my wife returning to the paper mill, where she was employed as a fibre sorter at 8d. per day, while I continued my coal unloading.

  A WIDE RANGE
 It appears that many modellers cannot get away from their work, for a model of a narrow boat, used on the canals, was made by Mr. J. Hambridge when he was not fully occupied with his  Canal barge. True to life and tradition, it bears the colourful decorations of the real thing. The exhibition contains a wide range of exhibits, and besides the usual, but none the less splendid models of locomotives and steam engines………

Just one more words

never forget the Dead


I have read that the Oxford Canal was extended In 1788, the canal company bought the local watermill, demolished most of it, and built a row of cottages in its place next to the canal, it was known as salt row. There were two public houses, the Axe which is now the Boat Inn, and the Three Horseshoes which closed in 1924, the Britannia opened on the main Banbury Road. It has since been renamed the Jolly Boatman
Below you will see how the Inn can now be traced to a cotage, all Hambridge People must vissit this place, then on the next link they have several landlords or tenants of this inn but no one knows of the Hambridgers

On Monday last, at the Three Horse Shoes, Thrupp, on view the bodies of John Boyes, aged 7 years, and his brother, Joseph aged 2 years, who were drowned in the Oxford Canal. There was evidence to show how they fell into the Canal, but it was supposed that Joseph Boyes, the youngest, had first fallen, and that his brother John, in endeavouring to get him out, had fallen in also. From the evidence of Emma batts, daughter of the constable of Thrupp, it appeared that about half-past two o'clock on Saturday afternoon she was walking down the Towing-path, and saw Joseph Boyes floating in the Oxford Canal, near the Wicket Gate in Thrupp parish; she immediately told Elizabeth Aries, wife John Aries, blacksmith, and publican, and Mrs. Aries went out of her house and saw the child floating, but did not attempt to get  him out. Her husband was not at home. After seeing the child in the Canal, she went into her house, and told a man who was there that there was a child in the water; he went out and saw it, but did not attempt to get him out.

Hi Kirsty

We are volunteers on here who look for info to help others with their family research. It is then up to you to verify the info and decide if the info is correct, bearing in mind that names of ancestors are not always spelled the way we expect them to be. You need to collect a paper trail of such things as BMD certificates, baptism and burial records, and census returns to help you with this. As I pointed out, the image of the parish record of the marriage is on Ancestry so you don't even need to order that certificate. If you don't have an Ancestry subscription, check if your local public library subscribes to Ancestry Library Edition....this would give you access to the images.

hi I can find the death of Emma hambridge born walker on findmypast website can I please have some help please thanks

Kirsty, you have begun a new thread, an hour ago, saying you can't find the death of Emma and asking for help. I and another person have already replied on the new thread.
 P.S. Seems to have been answered on new thread.

[kirsty.foreman]

There is another thread that has been running concerning George Herbert Walker.
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=782973.msg6576481#msg6576481

I copy below details of a couple of posts I have made on that thread that contain pertinent information.

(1)
George Herbert Walker was baptised in 1886 in Brinklow, Warwickshire. This provides the information that his mother was Emily Walker, a single woman. No father is named.
1881 census for Brinklow has an Emily Walker age 18, daughter of James and Mary Ann Walker. She is likely to be the mother of George Herbert Walker.
In 1891 George  is living in Stockton, Warwickshire with his mother Emily and a sister called Rose ( born as Rose Morris with mmn Walker in Brinklow in  1888). Emily, George and Rose all have the surname Morris and Emily indicates that she is married, but her husband is not present.
In 1901 Emily ( still using the name Morris and claiming to be married) is living in Brinklow. Rose and George are not with her but she has three other children - Charles age 6, Lily age 1 and an unnamed infant. The births of all these children are registered as Morris with mmn Walker. No husband is present.
There is no record of a marriage between Emily and someone called Morris and it is likely they were never married. The only clue to the name of Mr Morris comes from the 1910 marriage certificate of daughter Rose, which names her father as Charles Morris, Boatman ( deceased).
Emily married in 1910 in Northants to William Harry Stratfull. She calls herself a widow and married under the name Morris. She gives her father as James Walker,  Boatman (deceased) The family are at Buckby Wharf, Northants in the 1911 census. William Harry and Emily have surname Stratfull ( married one year) There are four Morris children living with them - Lilian Mary (Lily) and Blanche Elizabeth ( the baby from 1901) plus Ethel born 1903 and Leonard born 1905. The latter two children are also recorded as surname Morris mmn Walker.
So to summarise, Emily Walker appears to have had seven children
George Herbert Walker (father unknown)
Rose ( father Charles Morris)
Charles ( father probably Charles Morris)
Lilian Mary (Lily)( father probably Charles Morris)
Blanche Elizabeth ( father probably Charles Morris)
Ethel ( father probably Charles Morris)
Leonard ( father probably Charles Morris)
It appears unlikely that Emily was actually ever married to Charles Morris.

(2)
Emily Ann Walker was born in 1863 in Brinklow. As far as I can see from census returns she was one of 12 children of James Walker and Mary Ann nee Gresley/Greasley. James Walker married Mary Ann Gresley on 16th December 1861 at Bordesley St Andrew, Warwickshire ( certificate viewable on Ancestry).He was age 32 and his occupation was Boatman ( although he appears as a Labourer on some of the census returns). His father was James Walker, a Tallow Maker. Mary Ann was 21, the daughter of Joseph Gresley, a Labourer.
Siblings of Emily were -
James born 1860 with surname Greasley ( pre marriage)
Emily Ann born 1863
Alice born 1864
George born 1866 died 1870
Lizzy born 1868 ( seems also to have been known as Lucy and Elizabeth)
Sarah Ann born 1870
Frederick born 1871 died 1872
Annie 1872
Edward 1874
Harry born 1875 died 1876
Beatrice Louisa 1876
Herbert 1878

James Walker was born about 1829 in Brinklow and Mary Ann Walker nee Gresley was born 1839/40 also in Brinklow.

Regarding your question about the possibility of Charles Morris being the father of George Herbert Walker. It is possible, but unfortunately I’m not sure how you would prove this conclusively as there is no father’s name  on his birth or baptism.

Hi can you please help me as I think I might be on the wrong track. Yesterday I did a page called may Martha walker I was told I did the wrong birth year for James walker who married Mary Ann Gresley I was trying to find out information about James walker mother who I thought was May Martha walker I really could do with some help thank you.

Is this the new thread you started yesterday?

https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=815165.msg6763569#msg6763569

Rather than ask the same question here, it might be best to ask that question on the thread you started yesterday. That is where you were told that your dates are wrong.
