Did anyone on the list have STOPFORTH or ABRAM family on the British Inland Waterways? An aunt of mine in England has recently visited graveyards for me in search of my great grandparents's grave. She found them in Newburgh Lancashire. Our family worked on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal for generations. It appears my great grandparents Thomas RUDDOCK and Ellen (neé HESKETH) are buried in the grave of: MARTHA STOPFORTH d. 1906 aged 72 wife of EDWARD STOPFORTH. I'm trying to work out the relationship. I have a canal people marriage of a possible son for Edward and Martha: Thomas STOPFORTH married Margaret ABRAM in 1895 And also from the 1881 census an Abram living with Heskeths: Dwelling: Newburgh Census Place: Lathom, Lancashire, England Source: FHL Film 1341899 PRO Ref RG11 Piece 3756 Folio 58 Page 5 Marr Age Sex Birthplace Martha HESKETH U 18 F Newburgh, Lancashire, England Rel: Head Margaret HESKETH 9 F Newburgh, Lancashire, England Rel: Sister Occ: Scholar Robert HESKETH 7 M Newburgh, Lancashire, England Rel: Brother Occ: Scholar Elizabeth HESKETH 5 F Newburgh, Lancashire, England Rel: Sister Occ: Scholar Margery ABRAM U 50 F Newburgh, Lancashire, England Rel: Aunt Occ: Dressmaker Would anyone with possible connections or suggestions please contact me.
