Dear Sue,
Thanks for your message, it seems I may have found something unexpected for
you.
I have already got several Cowley families on the database, two from Witton,
2 from Northwich, 1 from Leftwich & 1 from Poulton.
Le me know it you haven't got the info on them for 1881.
Regards Thelma
Dear Thelma
I was interested to read of the Weaver Belle being in Ipswich in 1881 and
also of the family of Robert Arnold there too. I have ancestors in the
Northwich area of Cheshire with that name and on a boat with that name! The
Boat worked on the Weaver taking salt to Liverpool but I also heard my
grandfather worked along the coast, particularly of N Wales. I wonder if
anyone else has any news of the Arnold and Cowley families?
Thank you,
Sue .

Does anyone know where you can find information regarding the Schuylkill Canal that ran from Schuylkill Co. PA to Philadelphia? My gggrandfather ran a barge on the canal and perhaps his brother did also. I am particularly interested in finding lists of people who worked on this canal.

Dear Hugh,
Thank you for putting this onto the List. I have forwarded a copy to Sue
Graham who is in Canada at the moment, as I am sure she will find it of
interest.
Kind regards,
Mavis

HI Folks
Here is another list, as I am so near the coast of Suffolk is is difficult to
know which boatmen are seagoing, so I have only put on the list the boats

Went to a fascinating 4th canal history workshop yesterday in West Midlands,
UK.
Learnt that the 'Owner' named on canal toll permits might not always be the
owner of the boat, but the owner of the cargo. Something I hadn't
appreciated before and might be of help to someone.
Also that so-called Number Ones (in 1904, boats owned by boatman, but now
used to refer to the boatmen who owned their own boats) were as highly paid
as the crack fly-boat captains, around 1 shilling per mile.
