I am hoping that it is the unusual break in the inclement, British weather rather than the temporary ListOwner that has kept the number of postings to a minimum. Perhaps this would be a good time for all listers to repost their interests. Please forgive fellow listers if their postings appear to be duplicated. I'll start:- LYDELL (Lloyd*ll, Loyd*ll) - Beeston, Stafford areas. With best wishes:- Bubbles from Robin Hood Country.

Re-posting seems a good idea. Most of you are interested in those who worked the boats. My interest is with the WHITWORTHs who built the canals in the 1780s and 1790s. regards Allen Whitworth [email protected]
