Charles Javens, "Trent Hero", 1881
« on: Tuesday 05 April 11 19:39 BST (UK) »
Hi there.

One of the more interesting characters I have found on my wife's side of the family was Charles Javens who turned up on the 1881 census on-board a boat called "Trent Hero" in Kingston-upon-Hull harbour- he is living with his wife and two of their children plus one other Mariner.

On the original document the boat is listed as Keil "Trent Hero".  Have poked about a bit on the internet but cannot find anything to tell me what the "Trent Hero" was.  My natural assumption was a river-boat/barge but it's only a guess.  Does anyone know how I can identify any information on the Trent Hero and what the keil part means?

Cheers!   :)

**EDIT..SORRY....I meant 1881!  Changed now!**

Ahhh.. thank you very much!  Did not come across that site!

So the Kiel was actually "Keel" to identify the type of boat.  Very interesting!

Thank-you very much! :-)

Yes, and listed as Captain.  It's interesting because I know one of his sons is on another vessel in Hull harbour at the same time, the Emulous.  I have found it on the link you sent me - thanks again!  10 tonnes lighter than his fathers boat but still... it's listed in his name.

Well, another area to investigate and learn about!  Humber Keel boats!   ;D

The waterway theme continues in the Javens family - Charles' uncle Philip Javens (1811-1876) can be found moored in Fall Ings Lock, Wakefield, on board his vessel 'True Blue' alongside his son Philip Finney Javens Sr. (1845-1931) aboard his vessel 'Tyne'.  In 1871 the latter was Mate aboard 'Humber' in Myton, Hull, and in 1879 was master of 'Industry' plying the Barnsley Canal out of Wakefield.
Charles' parents were James Javens and Elizabeth Rushby.
