Hi,
Does anyone have any information on the following boats which I think were owned by SURCCO:
Cressent (or Crescent) would have been in Audlem 1909
Suffolk would have been in Runcorn in 1882
Chester would have been in Nantwich 1902
Princess would have been in Nantwich 1907
Cromer would have been in Market Drayton 1907
Any details would be appreciated. I do have other boat names which I have found details for so if anyone is searching for other SURCCO boats let me know and I'll see if I have anything on them

Hi Bob where were they in the 1891 census? I don't have any Taylors in my family tree. Do you have any other names such as witnesses to marriages etc?

Can I just give a little advice here about how to put the names you are researching into a message. It is much easier to see the surnames if you put them in CAPITAL letters.
I know that in most circumstances this is regarded as shouting, but in family history terms it is always a help if the readers can see the surnames easily.
Another good reason is that some surnames are the same as ordinary words and could be missed HELP for example. Some readers might not recognise it as a name if they are skimming through looking for names.
If the names are in Capitals it makes it really clear which words are names and which are just pleas for assistance.
I hope this helpsSadly, our dear friend Ann (alias Ladkyis) passed away on Thursday, 26th. December, 2019.
