I am tracing my nana's family and have got to West Brom and The Worseys. She tells me that the family were canal boat builders in the area. My nanas family left the midlands and moved to Lancashire in the 1920's i think. Can anyone shed any light on the Worsey's please?

In what way?
Was your grandmother a Worsey by birth? Or by marriage?
How much research have you managed to do?
And what time-scale are we looking at?
...........there are countless entries for the surname in West Bromwich on freebmd

Is your grandmother on the Parker side of your family?
Or the Sarsfield side?

Joe Worsley appears to be quite famous as a boat builder. Trying to find a date for him though.
You really need to work back from your own family to find if you are related.

Sorry Gareth, forgot to say Phoebe would be the first cousin once removed of Joseph Worsey the boat builder. Her father, Herbert being Joseph's first cousin.
