As your family moved to Warwickshire.... was there already Warwick connections???

Assume your tree on Ancestry:

Joseph HARWOOD married Mary WEST - Warwickshire St Mary 19 July 1825 + 1841 census St Mary Warwickshire

Joseph HARWOOD 45, Susannah 35, Charles 14 and Henry 4.

There are births at Warwick : John - 6 December 1786, Richard & Ann, - Elizabeth - 27 January 1788 - Richard & Ann all Warwick St Mary - before the births at Hewlesfield??

eg. Marriage at St Nicholas, Warwick 6 November 1785, Richard HARWOOD married Ann ALLEN

* your tree has Joseph HARWOOD and Susannah HARWOOD 1861 in St Nicholas, Warwick.

? District of St Nicholas looking at the map is very close to the River Avon

If they were Waterman - they were probably up and down the canal system i.e. Avon & Gloucester Canal - which went up to Warwick
