Watermen and lighter-men Apprenticeships Bindings Look up Please?

[B.]

   suzey68  Many thanks for your help.  The last Goss is definitely part of the family but I notice a Pickering in there and that is a 1900 connection . It might just be a common Thames-side name.  This one was Lillian and she married Fred's brother Francis.  There is possibly a Pickering-Yorkshire connection. Have a very happy new year! Love B.

Dear Sue

I hope you don't mind me asking, but could you have a look and see if you can find my gr.grandfather please.

The only info. I have is from my grandfather's marriage cert. where he states his father as William Welch, Lighterman.  Relatives seem to think the family are from the Camberwell/Bermondsey areas.  A long shot I know, but any help would greatly appreciated.

Regards
Sandie

Hi Sandie

Could you please tell me when your gr grandfather (William Welch) was born or the marriage year of your grandfather so it will give me a starting point.

Regards Sue

Hi Sue

Sorry, I didn't think!

I'm afraid info. about my 'Welch' family is very sparse.  The only thing I know for sure is that my grandfather married in Dec. 1907.  I can't even confirm birth year, but he gives his age as 25 on the marriage cert.

Regards
Sandie
