I have confirmed links back to the Foley family of boatpeople who are recorded in the 1871 census in West Bromwich as:

Edward Foley,  54,  Boatman,  born Kingswinford
Rebecca Foley  51,  Boatwoman, born Coleshill (?)
Keziah Foley,    19,  Boatwoman,  born Bilston
Phoebe Foley,   16,  Boatwoman,  born Bilston
Joseph Foley,    14,  Boatman,  born Bilston
Georrge Foley   11,  Boatman,  born  Dudley
Samuel Foley,  7       Boatman,  born Oldbury
David Foley,     4,  Boatman,  born Bilston.

On the 1871 census, page RG10/2986, there is no mention of any address, boat, vessel, losdging place - nothing!. It is the same on the previous page and the following page.

I have had no joy in any area pre 1871 - any help, information, advice or guidance would be very much appreciated. Edward was my great great grandfather.

Best Wishes
David
