 * Hi - thanks for the advice. It's difficult at first to prove this individual's noteworthiness - I suspect because he worked in the field of engineering (unfashionable) and wrote the definitive account of the canal system in the UK (also unfashionable). I was moved to create a page for him as there are at least a couple of pages with reference to his work on Wikipedia, with links that then unintentionally misdirect people to wiki pages for others with similar names and it would be good to give these links a valid landing page. I'm without access to an academic library but I'll see what I can find from print sources.

 * I did a quick search on newspapers.com and jstor.org that I have access too and unfortunately did not turn up anything to help - all I could find was references to them writing the book but nothing about them. Unfortunately we live in a world where people care more about celebrities and social media influencers than engineers. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 20:29, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
