Hi everyone -

Fairly recently I discovered that my great-grandfather's eldest sibling, Elizabeth Booth, born Runcorn 1858 married a William Twigg, boatman from Wolverhampton.
For the first few decades of their married life they lived in Runcorn where he worked on the ship canal. Then between the 1901 and 1911 censuses the family (some of the sons) upped and moved down to Lilleshall. There they were living on their own barge "Leonard" which on the night of the census was moored at Humber Wharf.
Their sons Richard, George William, Harold and Ernest were all working as boatmen in various capacities, one or two surely with their father. (Elizabeth and William had several other adult children, but I'm not sure where they were at the time.)
Has anyone a Twigg on their tree? (I couldn't resist.)

All the best,
Anne.
