1. loooking for Knowles [1]
Hi all, A member of our family history society is looking for Albert Knowles born circa 1876 - when he married in 1906 no father was given on certificate. I suppose he could be under a totally different surname. We have looked at the 1881 census but not see anyone who could fit the bill. The searcher is under the impression that Albert could have ended up on the boats, he evidently disappears after his wife dies in 1920 leaving 2 children to be brought up by an Aunt. Would appreciated any informat

Dear Les, I do not have any information that might help. However, I have noted the BERRY name in the East Midlands in connection with my CUTTS researches. The Cutts were at Cromford Wharf in the early 1800s and spread out from there. Just in case you have come across any Cutts in your line - as you know canal people are elusive!! Best wishes, Mavis Johnson researching all CUTTS families. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Leslie Berry" To:

Thank Mike This is my husband's family tree I am researching (have already done mine) and he always said that his family were gipsies but I cannot find any trace of that but wonder if this is what they called the boatpeople of their family? (No disrespect to boat people out there !)

Maureen I can't really offer any help, but perhaps in an enquiry like this, you should offer a little more on the person. Especially, where he was born/lived etc Could be UK or USA!

9. Re: [CANAL-PEOPLE] LEAVESLEY [1]
Hi Vanessa Just a comment in passing. Recently started to look at my wife's family who appeared to have quite a few relations on the GJC in the past. It is starting to become a bit like opening a cupboard stuuffed with everything. So far I have found many folks all related by marriage spread up and down the canal system from Braunston to London. It has appeared to me that many canal folk married other canal folk. Have not found a Leavesley yet but who knows? Perhaps someone should start a c

Thanks Neil, Yes, you are quite right I should have given some more info on the person. All I was told this evening was, Albert born c 1876, area unknown. The age calculated from the age given when Albert married in 1906 age 30. He married in Christ Church, Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent. No father given. So presumption is, Albert could be illegitimate. (Mind you father could have been dead.) (I have not seen the Church entry as yet.) Thank you for you interest. regards, Maureen (I have not looked throug

Hi again I think that a lot of people equated canal folk with gipsies due to their way of life. My canal research came out of a visit to Marsworth on the Grand Union Canal. My wife was a Jeffery and we knew very little about her grandfather as he died during WW1. He was commemorated on the War Memorial there with another Jeffery who I later discovered to be a younger brother. I was unable to speak to my father in law as he died young himself and had only been a baby, the youngest of 4 child
