Hi Steph,
Sorry for my late reply.
Auntie Grace was my grandad's aunt - I've a photo of her at my Grandad's brother's wedding (Uncle Dick). I'll seek it out.
How are you related? I'd be interested to hear about what you know of her.
I'm afraid my family left Patrington last generation, although I was there in February, and might well pop across later this month. We now live in Wales.
Can you PM your email address?
Cheers
Paul

Hello all you "Parrott watchers"
It's been great to read all your contributions to the thread. Loads of information which I've found really informative. I've just come back from a week staying in Holderness, while trying to add information to my family tree - it was great to meet some of my older relatives - who grew up in "Field House, Patrington Haven".
And to take my kids down to Stoney Creek, like my grandad used to take me. He used to fish from there in "Nimrod"
We also visited Patrington Church - "The Queen of Holderness"- where I was christened, and generations of family have been married, christened, and buried. It brings a lump to my throat looking at some of the stones - the tragedy of the loss of the fishing boat in 1916, and the death of Jim and his son (Both James Arthur Parrott) - I believe my Great Grandad, Richard Sidney, was the only survivor. (I have a poem that was written after the tragedy, apparently was printed in the local paper, =>if anyone is interested, I'm happy to share it.)
With ref to the orginal thread - Fennel Parrott, born in 1818, was my Great,great,great grandad.
Thanks for all your time and effort.
Cheers
