I have just read that Oxford University Department for Continuing Education are offering an online course "Using the Victorian Census". Does anyone have experience of this course ?

Staffordshire / Re: strays on the canals
« on: Wednesday 29 July 09 22:36 BST (UK)  »
hI and sorry for any  confusion
This began with a request for info  relating to  Sarah Smith b 1892  into  a  Midlands canal boating family  descended from Thomas Smith b1858   and  the Payton boating family descended from James Payton b1859. We have now established that  Sarah had  nine  siblings George Henry. Hannah,Thomas, Edward,Eliza,Elizabeth, Lily,Maryand Solomon.
George Henry married Sonia Rolt, Hannah married Thomas Webb. Sarah married John William Payton and their daughter Sarah Elizabeth  married boatman John Ernest Ringham . their daughter Mavis is my wife. Her uncle Harry is  the father of  Jean Grahame. Jean was the chat enquirer seeking a link  so it's all ended happily with cousins reunited!
The Smiths and Paytons  are inter connected ( so far)with  the following  other Midlands boating families; Webb, Edwards,Price,Daniels, Stokes,Nightingale, Nixon and Faulkner.

Hi Jean
I have posted a couple of  responses now to your  February enquiries. Hopefully this will now bring my total up to the required number 3 and allow me to  contact you with a Personal Message. Whisly Payton and Smith are two of my main lines of research I have also gathered  canal families information, almost exclusively  the Midlands , Birmingham, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Nottingham. Families include  Daniels, Edwards,Faulkner, Hammersley,  Nightingale,Nixon, Price,Ringham, Stokes, Webb.I am happy to share the info with others.

Thanks moderator. As a Rootschat virgin this was my very first attempt at a consummation. Will quickly try to come up with 3 postings; does this one count?

Hi Jean
Bingo!! I think you are probably  related via  your Gran Sarah Smith to my wife Mavis . She was born 28 January 1940 in Floodgate St Birmingham to John Ernest Ringham ( boatman)and his wife Sarah Elizabeth nee Payton. Sarah Elizabeth  was  the daughter of John William Payton ( boatman)b 8 May 1888 and and Sarah Smith ( your grandmother). Sarah was born on 21st April 1892 at Duddesden Wharf , Birmingham and Warwick Canal, daughter to Thomas Smith ( boatman) B 1858 and his wife Elizabeth nee  Daniels B 1859. We have a copy of  Sarahs birth Certificate. To date we only knew of two of Sarahs siblings; Hannah b 1879 who married Thomas Webb  (Captain of President)  and Mary Ann b1883 but I have just heard, via Lorna York, of  the following others; Thomas, Soloman,Edward,Eliza, Elizabeth and Lilyb 1899. Lorna is sending me the details.
If this connection rings true with you we would love to make contact . I am happy to give you our email (*)
Looking forward to hearing from you

Brian
