George Harrison who was married to Mary Ann Northwood was the brother to my G Granddad Allen Harrison who married Ann Clegg.
So am I right you are from the Green line that links into the Caswell through Sarah Ellen Green who married William George Caswell?
 Sarah Ellen was the daughter to Sarah Harrison & Henry Green. Sarah Ellen & William George Caswell I believe had children Irene Margret , George Henry & Edna may.
It all gets a little confusing from there on as a huge row broke out with a Caswell family member closing his web site down & accusing Kerry of stealing all his family tree & photos years of hard work & said she had claimed to be her work. if you go back far enough into the first canal boatman thread all will be revieled on how the Harrison family tree after 5 generations split . also might be able to make contact with Gerald Caswell I have info covering the Caswell line & also some photos but as it was never clear who the info belonged to Iv no intent of opening another can of family worms.

Hi there
Mary Ann Northwood was the daughter of Joseph Northwood and Sarah Turner, married 5/3/1834 at St Peters in Wolverhampton.  She seems to have been the only child of the couple.  Joseph's sister Hannah married Stephen Underhill, another bargeman, and his other sister Tryphena married Richard Seymour (these are my GGGGrandparents).  Sarah Harrison, sister of George, married John Seymour, eldest son of Richard and Tryphena.
Northwood family were from Wombourne.
Would love to hear from anyone else with canal boat ancestors.

[WOLVERHAMPTON HIGGS]

I have ancestors who lived on the Canal in Wombourne, nr Wolverhampton.

Steven Underhill (1799-1838) married Sarah Bowater (1799-1825). He was a boatman and the Bowater's were also a canal family.
They had a daughter Mary Ann Underhill in 1821, who married William Rushbury and then lived in Wolverhampton.
Also a son Edward, who stayed on the canal and is captured in Census's living at Crescent Wharf in Birmingham in 1851 and at "No. 14, Boat on the Canal" in Wombourne in 1881.

If anyone knows anything about the Underhill's or Bowater's please get in touch.

I think Stephen Underhill's first wife died, and he then married Hannah Northwood.  Would be interested to know more about Edward Underhill later.  Hannah's sister Tryphena is my Great however many times grandmother.

[WOLVERHAMPTON HIGGS]

Hi Spellweaver, yes when Sarah died her two children were only 5 years and 1 year old.
I did not know that Stephen remarried. Thank you for that information. I descend from Stephen Underhill (GGGG Grandad) and Sarah, then his daughter Mary Ann (GGG Grandmother).

Did Stephen have children with Hannah do you know?
