Findmpast Friday: Discover Lives Lived on Yorkshire's Canals

 I received this information from Findmypast today:

============================

Uncover transport stories with new records this week.

We've added two unique new sets to our record collection this week. Spanning over 150 years, these fascinating canal records tell the story of West Yorkshire's waterways through the eyes of the people who worked on them.

We've also bolstered our newspaper archive with some new additions spanning Britain and Ireland.

England, Huddersfield Canal Company

This brand new collection consists of 10,473 records from the Huddersfield Canal Company. These records stretch back as far as the late 18th century.

England, Calder and Hebble Navigation Company

This week's second new set comprises 90,905 records from the Calder and Hebble Navigation Company, covering the years 1796 to 1949.

New pages from Carlow to Croydon

261,496 pages joined our newspaper archive this week, with five brand new titles added and 46 existing publications updated.

A Family History Of... The Somme

In this special episode, Jen Baldwin turns to a wartime story that’s closer to home - one discovered within the family tree of her guest, Harvey Henson, Somme specialist and Communications Coordinator at the Commonwealth Graves Commission.

Harvey joins Jen to trace the story of his ancestor, Private Harold Ranson, who was killed during the Somme campaign. Watch the YouTube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBVuXZJtUt8
