Staffordshire / Re: canal boatmen and women #2
« on: Friday 25 February 11 19:48 GMT (UK) »
Hello everyone....can anyone help me please 
I am trying to trace a Horace Nixon. He was born in 1905 in Paddington, but his family originate from Wolverhampton area. He is part of the Nixons from Stourport, who the majority were boatmen. I've found him with his family on the 1911 census, but have lost track him after that. I did find a death for a Horace in 1916, but have been subsequently told that he is remembered in the 30's, so I know that one isn't him.
Can anyone help me, I've tried everything to find him, but can't find any obvious marriage or death.
Also, I have another branch of the family who were Dulson's, and were also boat people. In particular, Jane Dulson. I have her marriage and death, which puts her birth about 1901, and she is on the 1911 census as being born in West Bromwich, but again I can't find anything.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
