Boat families were a very tightly knit and sometimes marginalised community, mostly marrying within their community. My Long Buckby Wharf One Place Study has many boat families transiting through as well as those who settled at the Wharf. Whilst researching them I realised how connected they are and that I can extend my study to include the rest of the families operating on the Grand Junction Canal. For now, my research will be available through my Long Buckby Wharf website.
