Hi I don't know if I can be of any help to you but I am also researching Bloors (and the various spellings of the name) as it is part of my family connections. Rather than detail all the info via email, check out my website and see if there is any connection with our families. Website address www.ky.lewis.btinternet.co.uk Let me know if there is any connection or if you would like any of the info I have Regards Karen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robin Bloore" <robin@bloore69.freeserve.co.uk> To: <CANAL-PEOPLE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, February 16, 2002 11:37 PM Subject: [CANAL-PEOPLE] William BLOOR > Hi Canal Listers, > > I'm new here as I have been recommended to ask you for some Help or > Guidance. > > My gggggf, William BLOOR has put in a first appearance on his son's Marriage > Cert for a Burslem wedding in 1848. > > William's occupation is given as Wharfinger, and it has been suggested that > there may be a number of Bloor's in canal based work at this time. > > Does anyone have any advice on the matter or anywhere to look (other than > the usual) that may be canal connected? > > TIA, Cheers, Robin > > Robin Bloore, Surrey, England. > > (Researching:- BLOOR(E), BARRITT, DODDS in UK, & BEIRNE in Co Mayo, Ireland) >
