Boatwoman
knowlegable brummie
I am doing my family tree on Ancestry. A lot of my mum's side of the family are from Birmingham. I have discovered that my 2nd Great-Aunt Millicent Thacker BIRTH 31 OCT 1874 • Birmingham, Warwickshire, England, married John Edward Ryder 1896. John Edward Ryder was a boatman in Birmingham along with his son John Frederick Ryder and his father Edwin Ryder. They owned their own coal boats and worked in and around Birmingham. Does anyone have anything on either family and their boats or whereabouts?
