G'day to the 'mudrats' of the Mudcat.
We are trying to research family - John & Phoebe LUCK, lock-keeper of Braunston about 1820 - 1834 (he died in the cholera epidemic of that year).

I am reliably informed that some of your members were alive and well at that time - and still 'muck in the mud' today.

My problem - what lock would he have been the keeper of (Braunston). How would we begin our search? Any names & contact details????

We will be in 'pommie land' in a few days and I only just now found your site.

Any advice please - most welcome. No cricket jokes ... even though we are thrashing you as usual in the 'One dayers"!

email - tomhulett@hotmail.com

Thanks and happy boating (I'm a caravanner myself)

Tom
