Hi everyone, I have joined this list because of my interest in solving a family mystery. My grandmother Eliza Hannah MEAKIN was born at Eastwood in 1875. My mother recounted how Eliza once told her that Eliza's brother was drowned in the nearby canal lock. He was " brought from the canal lock to the house with water streaming from him.". I presume that the lock is on the canal at Eastwood. Can anyone help me by answering the following questions? What is the name of the canal at Eastwood? Is there a lock at Eastwood? Were there a row of houses nearby? Was there a lock house? Does the List know of an actual drowning in the lock in the period mentioned? I would be grateful any information or suggestions related to this accident. Regards John Poxon
