Hi Steve...
There is a genealogical e-list at
http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/ENG/ENG-CANAL-PEOPLE.html which might
be of use to you. Rootsweb also has regional lists which may also apply; I
belong to one for the Black Country, that being where my roots are. You can
find them at http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/ENG/.
Hope this helps...
