Hi Rosalind Hope your weekend is not too stormy--- Who is this Yorggy do they mean Geoge.
I . noticed your comment about N.E. fishermen. Some of my wifes people were at Beadnell in the 1800s . Two were drowned- an occupational hazard in those days. There surname was Steven. ( Apart from those two both her grandfathers were killed with Head injuries )

KIND REGARDS THEA(O) above the WALL

Hi Theo

I replied to you before but it seems not to have gone. I live on a hill so it is windy but at least not flooded.

Very hard luck to both grandfathers to head injuries.
The graveyard at St Hilda's Hartlepool is full of drowned fishermen. I looked it up- what was written was "6 men in a 5 man coble", in 1675! As a teenager I was taken out to Handa Island to see the puffins by two brothers who assured me they hadn't learned to swim because it would take longer to die. A few years later I saw (in a colour supplement) they had both drowned.

Kind regards to yourself and Mrs Penda

Re. the fishermen They only found the leg of one of them -- But they recognised the sock - his wife knew the pattern well .
