Hi Brian - I've checked for each and every one of these names, sorry to say there aren't any references to any of them. Regards, Elaine I wondered if you could check in your book for the following surnames who worked or lived on the Cromford canal - KEY, BEIGHTON, STONE, HODGKINSON, BAXTER, ALSOP, WEIGHTMAN, SELLORS and LIMB. Many thanks Brian in cool, sunny Naracoorte, South Australia > > -------------------------------------------------
