Watermen and Lightermen
« on: Friday 07 May 10 11:19 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find a George Silverton born about 1806 in Gillingham. My only sighting of him is in 1851 Census that describes him as:   
            George Silverton  head of family  age 45 born Gillingham WATERMAN

I would be most grateful if you could find any spare time to look for him.
Regards,
