Hello all. My grgreatgrandfather was listed as a Waterman on the 1841 /51 census. Is there a website or list that tells me about this trade. His name was Royal/Rial Lee and he lived in Ely.

Hi www.parishregister.com has history of waterman although it is maINLY for the Docklands area of London, but might give you some insight. Bob Cotterell from this website put together a Docklands ancestors CD on waterman bindings. An email or read of the website might elicit where the records are for Ely Cheers Pam from Adelaide > > Hello all. My grgreatgrandfather was listed as a Waterman on the 1841 /51 > census.
