I have family members in Cheshire who were watermen. They were based in Northwich area, so probably worked on the River Weaver carrying Salt to liverpool. They would pick up raw sugar and take it along to the Sankey navigation and then to Newton le Willows sugar refinery. They then loaded up with coal,which they took back to Northwich where salt was produced by evaporation of brine from the salt mines.

The Surnames were Littler, Brown and Alcock
