Lincolnshire / Re: What did a waterman do?
« on: Friday 07 March 14 16:47 GMT (UK)  »
Is there any way to find out what my relative did on the river in Lincoln? His name is Joseph Cole born around 1773 (not sure where). I know he married in Lincoln in 1804 for the first time. he died in 1830 in Lincoln.

Does anyone know anything about the job of a waterman in Lincoln in the early 1800's, as my 4xGgrandfather occupation is given as this.

Wallis Yard was in Pimlico, Hanover Square.
Sorry about the confusion. Eliza was born Baxter in 1869, her parents were Henry Baxter and Sophia Algar who were married in 1863. Elizabeth was Sophia's older sister. Sophia's parents were born I think in Norfolk and moved to the area sometime after 1844. I have found it hard to find any information on Sophia from her birth in 1844 in Reepham Norfolk until her marriage to Henry. I found her parents on the 1871 census by searching for the address rather then the name, but can not find them on any other census. From Sophia's marriage record I believe her father (John) was a groom/ coachman.

I am tying to find information on Wallis Yard. My gr Gran, Eliza Baxter, was born at number 16 in Jan 1869. From my searches she lived here when she got married in1863, though I can find no record of where she lived before this date. It appears that her parents John and Mary Algar and sister Elizabeth Smith were living at this address in 1871 along with several different families.Was it common for several families all to live in the same house?

Thanks.
He is difficult to track as he keeps changing his name between Baxter and Henson.

I did not realise that they did maintenance records back in the 1780's. You learn something new every day.
