Joseph Worsey, b 1805 steerer/boatman of Toll End Tipton. (His mother married Edward Fellows later of Fellows, Moreton and Clayton fame.) His son Peter was a steerer, colliery contractor and boat maker employing two men at Bagots Bridge Cottage,Tipton. Other Worseys went on to buy up property at Toll End until practically all of it was Worsey owned. Peter's son, George Charles, was a boatman and canal carrier latterly residing in Winson Green. On his daughter Emma's birth certificate, George is listed as an iron dealer, carter and journeyman living in Winson Green. There is a photo in the Walsall Archives of the Worsey boat yard.
(There is a road in Tipton called Worsey Drive.)
Incidentally, a certain William Worsey, brother of the artist Thomas Worsey, was the landlord of a canalside pub. He was transported for the murder (later changed to manslaughter because he was drunk at the time) of his wife. He ended up in Fremantle where he was found drowned on the date of the second anniversary of his wife's death. Sad story. Thomas the artist is said to have been the instigator of painting roses and castles on boats. He was a japanner by trade in Birmingham. Unfortunately, he died aged 49 from complication due to 'diabetes and exhaustion'.
