| Hello, Im researching my family history and am keen to find out anything about Aquila and Joseph Needham. Aquila was born in Tewitfield in 1850 and transported coal as "Captain of a canal barge" until his death in 1886. I note that in the new book "Life on the Lancaster Canal" it states he died in 1884 but i cannot confirm this. Joseph, his son, was born on the canal at Lodge Hill, Galgate, and went on to be a Hay & Straw merchant in the canal basin in Preston. Any information would be very welcomed. Thanks Stuart |

| I understand that my maternal Grandfather, Francis Henry Smith, was Goods Manager for the LMS at Kendal during the 20s and 30s, and that he lived in Canal Head House, from where my parents were married in 1932. He retired in 1935 and moved to Bare. Can anyone verify this? | |
