Boating Families Located in Newburgh & Lathom in the 1871 Census
My great, great-grandparents are Newburgh strays in the 1871 census, living at Holywell in North Wales where Henry met Sarah on one of his trips whilst sailing his flat ladden with Lancashire coal to Greenfield. The ages for Sarah and Henry are incorrect, Sarah was older than 24 and much older than Henry who was actually just 18 when this census was taken but they probably altered their ages to appear more acceptable!
