Who initially worked as a merchant seaman and on retiring would have worked as a Berthing Master for the,"Canal Company", probably in London? Can anyone give me more information on either occupation or where I may find employee records for the Canal Company? I have tried the PRO and various canal organisations, with little luck. Any help would be appreciated. Paul Kemp. _______________________________________________________________________ Never pay another Internet phone bill!
