Occupation Interests / Re: Waterman and Lighterman apprenticeships 1860s
« on: Friday 27 August 10 16:33 BST (UK)  »
can anyone help me? It appears that my several generations of my family were lightermen on the Thames .

I have traced George William Matthews b 1808 whitechapel and Edward Matthews b 1845 Mile end as lightermen and I also noticed a J Matthews and James Matthews on records . My father was James Matthews ( not a lighterman) so it may be a family name.

Any suggestions how I can find out more?

Thanks ???
