Thank you very much Mary.. I have ancestors that sailed the waterways of Yorkshire..in fact a rellie in England just sent me a book Titled " The Maggie Kelly " placed 1851. The characters are fiction, however it is based on facts of the water ways and how these folks had a very hard go of it with the railways taking over the deliveries of goods in those days..I have just started reading it, so thats all I know so far. The author is Mary Dunn...Just wanted to say thanks for sharing the web site..GOOD LUCK to ALL and HAPPY HUNTING, Darlene
