Pat, you may have seen this site but I am sure it gives links to a lot more. Clicking on Canal heritage brings up some really good stuff.

There are a number of people who specialise in tracing boat people's family history. From bits seen on "Waterworld", the boat museum at Gloucester and possibly the waterways museum at Stoke Bruerne could be a starting point. British Waterways inherited a lot of carrying company records of who was running which boats pre-nationalisation.Uncle John - Passed away March 2020
