Hi Edwina,
First contact I have had in about a year!
Regretfully I have no knowledge of Catherine Crew or James White. The news of Jane and Robert also do not feature with any on my list. However I do have a Samuel Crew born about 1755 listed among the Crews who served as hereditary Watermen on the R. Thames. This list comes from the Hon. Company of Watermen and Lightermen. It was a bit more complicated than you appear to be suggesting since to be a waterman required extensive knowledge of the river and a lengthy apprenticeship. If you would like the list I could send you a copy.
Samuel was the brother of John who is my ancester but I don't have any information about Sam's offspring.
I would be interested to know if this helps at all. If you care to email me at [email protected] please do.
Harry
