Richard Maidens was my 1st cousin 5 x removed, his father Richard b.1702, was my grt grand uncle, his father Richard b.1674 was my 5th grt grandfather.
My maternal grandfather and his family were from Lincolnshire (Brigg/Scawby/Winteringham). The men were mainly lightermen (bargemen). The family tree goes back as far as 1694 but I would like to know more about the people. My grandfather James Knott died in Hull 1952 so I don't remember him as he died when I was only 5 months old and my gran (his wife) died in 1956. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've attached a photo of my maternal grandparents James Knott (1873-1952) and Rose Handley (1875-1956) they married in 1894 in Sheffield but moved to Hull soon after. Sorry for the poor quality of the photo but it is about 60 years old.
