Do these names mean anything to you?
An appeal for family information
By Debbie Brookes
My great-great grandfather was Enoch Browning, described in various census returns as a bargeman from Saul. Enoch was born to James and Elizabeth Browning (formerly Meredith) in Saul on 7 th January 1852 and spent his adult life working on the Trow the Severn. He was still serving on her in 1906 as his death certificate records a death by misadventure on 25 Sept that year when he was found lying dead alongside the Severn on the tow path near Chilton Trinity with a gash to his head.
I would be interested to hear if anyone has any information about the Severn or even Enoch himself. Also another line of enquiry is that, according to Census returns of the same period, a whole host of related family members lived/worked at a place called Baldwin’s. Does that mean anything?
