Hello again all
a fourth Barge has now appeared in my quest ! (possibly a lighter) -
now - again thanks to John White I know that in 1861 there were 20 or
so 'Williams' registered, working the Thames. So this one is a real
long shot since I dont have any more details to narrow down the search.
In 1861 this one was captained by an Alfred Howard. His wife Eliza
also on board. Together with 'boy' Alfred James Saveall. They were
at 'Kent and Essex Wharf' somewhere in Kent in 1861 at the time of
that Census.
again any info about this Barge (I realize this is unlikely) would
bevery welcome.
best wishes
Andrew
