    Welcome to the Forum. I have moved your post from One Name Studies (which is for people offering information on a particular name) to Canals and Watermen, where perhaps it will attract more interest.

    Hello Bobelc and welcome to the forum.

    When and where the family worked would be useful information to give us. The more we know the more we can search for you.

    This could be her then at 44 Hall Street, Tipton in 1881.
    Charles Lakin age 27 born 1854
    Martha Lakin age 26 born 1855
    Ellen Lakin age 1 born 1880

    but Charles was a labourer.

    That is brilliant, everything fits espescially the mention of an Elcock which is definite proof.

    Thank you very much, I cannot believe how quick you have been.

    Thanks again Bob
