As a new member got to three posts. The other thing Marilyn and I are interested in is finding the pubs John Heighway b1790 had. It was in the madeley census, but river side.

Thanks for all this local information. I recognise the bridge as I was only up there for the first time two weeks ago. If only I had known it was the tuckies on the other side.

My great great grandfather, Thomas Heighway 1815, and his father were both watermen and according to the 1841 census were neighbours, page 3, of Thomas Beard, pg 4. Thanks so much for the photo. Any further information would be greatly appreciated.
