Hi Tony,
I haven't been here for a while but I am a direct descendant of Nicholas Fradley 1679  and Jane Holland.1672, are these the two you have.
My lot came from Gayton/Kingston, and were agricultural workers.
I don't know of canal links but often wondered how my great grandfather in staffordshire met my great grandmother in Lubenham, Leicestershire. The canals are near by??

  I traced William to Gayton where he was born to Thomas and Elizabeth Fradley on 16.4.1758. Thomas appeared to be an agricultural labourer as they moved around several adjacent parishes , I found no record of any more Marriages in the films of Parish records available to me at LDS family history library. but the I.G.I. has a record of the marriage of Thomas to Elizabeth Pritchard at Stowe by Chartley on 20.7.1755.I double checked the parish record with negative result. I was beginning to think that they were common law marriages and have now only tenuous links through another Thomas and Elizabeth to Nicholas and Jane and an other Nicholas and Jane whose earliest entry in Gayton was a birth in 1646.I do have more detail but it is likely that you have already researched this. If you have or Know of anyone who has I would be interested to hear if you have had more success with the early marriages. The Bloor name crops up again later linked to my grandmothers family.
I hope this is of interest.

Hi Paul remembers then being there when he was about 17. He was born in 1942 so he thinks about early 1960's they were still there.There is an industrial site about where they were. Its not far from the Honda garage mentioned earlier but on the opposite side of the road. Sorry no photos.
