Hi kerry

I see you have Brooks' on your website (I already have this information).  Would be interested to know where you got the information from?

Have you seen Gerald Cresswell's website for canal boatmen?  It is very interesting and has quite a few boatmen names listed as well.

Hi Kerry

Thanks for that.  I have quite a few Brooks' and now go quite a way back - not all boatmen though.
