Thanks for that information Charles Dowle Born 1827 and Caroline Fletcher c1833 are indeed my decendants. Two of their daughters Charlotte and Caroline were BOTH my great grandmothers (Carolines son Richmond Walter Taylor (my grandad) married Charlottes daughter Elizabeth Edwards (my grandmother). Their daughter (my aunt) Olive is still alive and has always told me that her mother and her aunts went on little trips on the Black Dwarf because their Grandfather (Charles) was the owner. Im guessing these trips must have been around the 1900s. Having done a little bit research on the census Ive do not believe he was the owner but could somehow arrange trips.

It is confusing doing research I know for a number of reasons. The Census took the names but sometimes the family gave the childs nickname instead of its real name and children die and new ones born often take the same name. Ive only just scratched the surface but I am fascinated by this family.
