Thank you so much.

Oh dear It looks like the trail might run dry. I had hoped a boat keeps it's serial (licence) number throughout it's life but it seems not. I'm grateful for everyone's help. But I'll keep looking so if anything else comes to mind...please share!

When you say 'gone from their waters' does that mean a boat is licenced to whatever canal it's on (sorry for my ignorance) or does it mean it might not longer exist?

Thank you all. Springer is useful, I did notice a lot of boats didn't have that shape when at a recent show and whilst looking round Gayton Marina.

I'm looking for clearer photos. 38 ft.

My grandparents owned a narrowboat, and I have recently been thinking about buying one. I have become really interested in seeing if I can trace their ole boat! Even just to see where she ended up, sentimental reasons really. Here's the details: Grandparent names: Cyril and Alice Cousins Bought in 1984 from Cowroast Marina near Tring, she was called "Snoopy" at the time. Re-named her "Cyralice" Serial number is 79826 (there's a slim chance it's 79026 as the photo is fuzzy - attached) She was first moored in Willowbridge Marina and then Gayton Marina in Northampton, on the Grand Union canal. I checked on http://canalplan.org.uk/boats/ but she's not listed. It was sold in the late 90's I think through the brokerage at Gayton Marina (part of Alvechurch group I think) Thanks! Rainey
