One of the joys of Family History, regarding the geography of places, and why they ended up far from their places of birth.

Grand Union Canal goes from London to Birmingham, if I remember correctly, plus all the branches that come off it.
It maybe worth studying it a bit, as his father was a boatman and could have been anywhere along the routes it follows.  Unless he stayed in Tring, or is lost from census being a canal worker/boatman.

I'll leave you at that, but give me/us a shout if I/we can help any further.
