Hello, you mention George Beauchamp marrying Clara - this was my grand parents name.  They lived on the canal for at least two generations before.  There is some tie up with Oxford and a row of cottages on the canal there - something like Fisher Row I think.   Don't know if any of this helps.

Hello again,

Sorry forgot to mention that the name Humphreys is also mentioned - I believe that a census shows two children by the name of Humphreys living with them and their children on the canal.  George & Clara's children were, Albert (known as Joe - my father), Abel (my father's twin brother, George, Lucy and Fanny (might be Francis).
