My Gt.Gt.G.father was a Lighterman on the Thames, and his father before him. My namesake won the Doggett Coat and Badge in about 1845, but sadly I can't find a direct relationship with him. |

Stuart if you know that there were baptisms at the same church, have you contacted the archivist if they have one? |

Hi Teresa, I am researching the PARKER family, they originate from the Wolverhampton area but also later on, presumably because of new laws or canals opening they put down roots in Runcorn, any info would be very much appreciated! |

Does anyone have any information please regarding my canal boat ancestors under the name of PARKER, they originated from the Midlands, but when the new laws came into force about children, they took up residence in Runcorn although still working on the boats? |

I would recommend anyone looking for relatives who worked the Thames and canals to go and join Rootschat. |

Peter - It's probably best if you used the 'Search All Tree' function on this site, then you can contact anyone who has the same names in their tree as yourself. |
