Thanks Derek I will see if I can source a copy via an online bookshop

Thanks Ray T. Mrs T has sage advice and lots of cross referencing needed. But what is most interesting of all is to understand how relatives lived, what their lives where like, the joys and hardships - this gives it all real perspective. The journey is the fun and hopefully find some interesting insights on the way. Thanks for the input. Much appreciated.

Thanks Captain Pegg. Your advice and input is much appreciated. I will peruse the forum and see what I can find from the published material. Regards

Hi, I am new to this site and just trying to do some research. I am interested whether anyone out there has knowledge re the origins of John Griffiths canal carriers, who started the business, when, where and what happened to it. Is there any history of the yards or boats still around. Keen to understand if John Griffiths canal carriers is linked to John Griffiths, son of Edward Griffiths and Jane Griffiths (new Blower), and husband of Mary Griffiths (new Turton).
