Hi Louisa

Bulls Bridge is in on the borders of Hayes and Southall in Middlesex.  There is a Bulls Bridge Public House right on the canal.

Hi Folks, I am new to the chatroom but I am trying to trace back my ancestors who are listed on some old marriage and birth certificates I have inhrited, as boatmen.

George Walker, my great grandfather was married to Mary Ann Pearton who's father George Pearton was also shown as a boatman.  Also my paternal Grandfather William Morris who married George Walkers daughter Caroline was listed on the marriage certificate as a boatman.  The all seem to have been in the Paddington area of London around the 1800's but might have been originally from the Tipton/Dudley area of Worcestershire.

Any further info would be appreciated.

Thanks

Joy
