Staffordshire / Re: canal boatmen and women
« on: Sunday 22 February 15 01:37 GMT (UK) »
Hello Kerry and friends,
My people were canal boatmen and women too.
Ward, from Nuneaton - Staffs, Census has them in Wednesbury and Ellesmere Port Cheshire,
Cutler from Halesowen, Census has them as Boatmen starting in 1841, Halesowen, then throughout the various census -Shelton, Stoke (1871 -some Harrisons moored up too on this same census), Oldbury ,then later Birmingham.
Charles Cutler was married to a Lucy Smith ( I think but have not yet proven that Smith was her surname I am just going by other people's research) and I believe Smith was a canal boat family too. After Lucy died Charles Cutler married a Mary (Ann) Clegg but I don't think they had children together.
Kerry, we seem to have some names in common so let me know if you think there may be a connection.
Best regards
Dympna
