Lincolnshire / Re: Sheringham Maritime & Fishing History
« on: Friday 22 February 13 08:59 GMT (UK) »
A fascinating site - I have found so much about my Sheringham ancestors.
I may have a mite to contribute re the picture of the 4 fishermen. I think that 'Potter' Hardingham was George Potter Hardingham i.e. it was his middle name, rather than a nickname. He was born 1858 in Runton, married Sophia Cox in 1880, and was widowed 2 years later. I further think he is on the 1881 census on the 'New Admiral' in Great Grimsby, as George Potter.
Does this make sense to anyone else?
