IF I have the right family, in 1841 Richard is a lighterman. I wonder if he ever worked on the Thames? If so, you may find something here: http://www.parishregister.com/

Thank you so much for your info. I will follow up on these leads. For some reason Andy's message is the first one that has come up in my email box but you are correct I should have returned to the site to check for replies. Thanks again, Cheryl :)

If this is Joseph Kempster b 13/5/1814 Chesham, Bucks then he + his family are on my tree. In 1861 he was  master of barge Confidence with his wife Jane nee Leaver + children moored at/near Uxbridge, Middx on the Grand Union Canal or a branch canal. They had 6 children and later ran a shop in Ladbroke Grove, W London.  He died there 1902. If so, then I have more details

Hi Andy, Thanks for this, this certainly seems to be the same Joseph. I would love to get more details. My email is  (*)

Kent / Re: Streeter Family Kent

Hi
I'm also researching Keziah Ann Streeter who married Charles Edward George Wootton (my husband is related via Charles half brother).
I have found it interesting to come across the references to Keziah's mother having the maiden name Rendall/ Randell as Keziah Ann & Charles had a son and called him William Rundle Wootton (he, in turn, called his son Alfred Rundle Wootton). Perhaps this could lead to finding a baptism record for Keziah senior?? I haven't had any luck yet but as more records keep getting added, who knows when one might come up.
I would also be interested in getting the details of Keziah Streeter's death as I can only find the death & burial for Richard in 1875.
Happy researching to all, Cheryl Wootton

I am researching my English family history from here in NZ. I have ggg grandparents who were boatmen in the Middlesex region by the names of Richard Sivers (b. about 1811)  & Joseph Kempster (both are listed as a boatman in 1842) possibly others also of the same surname. I believe there is a index of canal and boatmen started by a Mrs Bingham and continued by a John Roberts.
Can anyone help with looking up the index for me or may have info on the names above.
Any help would be most gratefully received.
