HINMAN/INMAN and SEYMOUR families. Both these families were Boatmen/Bargees, and so far I have found records for them at St Philip's in Birmingham and at Knowle. If anyone has suggestions of other locations, or any information on Bargemen ancestors I would be grateful for any help. Specifically I am seeking Edward Hinman who married in Knowle in 1825, and the family of John Seymour b.c. 1820. Any help much appreciated. Angela
