The cover story of the September
issue of
Who Do You Think You Are? magazine includes my latest feature on
canal boat ancestors, plus my feature on Teacher Registration Council registers (available from
Findmypast and the
Society of Genealogists' Library) so do check it out if you have
canal ancestors or teacher ancestors. It was very difficult for canal children to get an education as they were always on the move.

On Sunday 10 August, some heavy horses will be visiting the
National Waterways Museum at Ellesmere Port, so you will be able to see a
wonderful demonstration of
horse-drawn canal boating.
