Jeannette, I have Rachael Dunn and Martha Smith as having married John in my family tree I am also aware that there was another wife but for the life of me I can’t remember her name, I had seen something about Odd Rode but now you have solidified that for me, as for the “Italy” perhaps that was a red herring I would appreciate seeing your photographs. I am at a loss as what to say except your amazing I only made this post a few days or so ago and the help and advice I’ve received is truly wonderful and I thank you all. In the space of a few days I have learned more than I had in the months I spent trying here,there and (it felt like) everywhere, it’s now obvious to me that if you want to know about boats and the boating community come here there seems nothing you guys don’t know.

Hi I am sorry if this isn’t the right place for this post. My ancestors where Tonks who travelled the canal between Staffordshire, Wolverhampton and Birmingham and I’m trying to find any information on the last boat they used it was called “Italy”, I maybe wildly off the mark but I wondered if you may have any ideas as to where I should be looking many thanks
