Detailed usage description
A list of subscribers to the English and Bristol Channels Ship Canal Company, giving name and addresses of 600 subscribers and names of witnesses. The canal itself was never actually built.
It doesn't give much detail about the planned canal and therefore wouldn't be of great use to a local historian, but if you have very little information about a relative you know to have involved in these sorts of projects, or to have been wealthy enough to offer finance then this collection may point you to an address date which will allow you to move your research on
