Occupation Interests / Re: Watermen and lightermen Apprenticeships Bindings and licences
« on: Wednesday 05 October 11 23:52 BST (UK)  »
I'm also looking for a lighterman - John Cook Acton  - according to london gazette he was discharged from debt in 1834 with an occupation of lighterman, address millwall poplar?  earlier in his life he seems to have been a publican which seems an interesting change of direction!

Also, do the records reach as far as Folkestone?  Looking for a William Gittins sailor variously from Folkestone and Wales?

Many thanks for any assistance.
