----- Original Message ----- From: <BoughtonTurn@aol.com> To: <CANAL-PEOPLE-D-request@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, January 25, 2002 8:27 PM Subject: Worcester Birmingham Canal My Great Grandfather was a lockkeeper at Astwood Lock, Claines, Worcester, in the mid -19th century. His name was Richard Jones. I am trying to find out if there are any records of the canal employees for that period which may be accessible either through the Internet or by some other means. If you are able to give me any advice or point me in which direction to search , I should be most grateful. Thanks for any help you may be able to give, Derek Jones --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by Expert Anti-Virus. Version: 6.0.317 / Virus Database: 176 - Release Date: 2002-21-Jan
