Hello I am fairly new on this site and thanks to one of the members I have found lots of information about some of my ancestors who were watermen. On some of the information one of the sons was a medical student. Richard Hunt on the 1871 census. He was aged 21. I am very curious to know how he actually managed to study to such a level given that his father was a canal worker. I would be grateful if anyone could help. Thank you.
