Notes: In her book 'The Lancaster Canal in Focus' Janet Rigby writes: "It was Joe who carried the last load to Storey's Mill in Lancaster in 1947. Storey's were the last firm to run on coal but after the bad winter that year, when the canal was fozen and deliveries by boat were impossible for several weeks, they switched to oil, thus ending a long tradition heralding the end of commercial carrying on the canal.' Joseph married Evelyn Heskin about Aug 1923 in St Peter, Preston. Evelyn (daughter of James Heskin) was born on 16 Jul 1903 in Preston. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
