Fish Shop in Andover
« on: Thursday 30 October 08 11:18 GMT (UK) »
Hello everyone,   I have been doing my tree now for over 10yrs, and during that time i have been aware of a (maybe) fish shop in Andover which my ggrandparents Frederick John Knight and his wife, used to have.  Fishmongers on the Knight family go back to Abraham and Ann, Abraham was born 1792 in Andover.  But on the census rcords occ coming down through the line is Fishmonger, or fish Hawker.

Just recently i have met up with other members of my family, who have all heard the same thing that there was indeed a Fish Shop In Andover.

Frederick died in 1936,  Jane in 1937. Both in Portland Place. they also lived in chantry Street and New Street, Can anyone tell me how I can get evidence of its existence, or does somebody know of it.  Grateful for any help TY

Sorry can't help with the fish shop.  I grew up in Andover in the 40s and 50s and the only fish shop I remember was called Burdens and was on the corner of the High St. and Bridge St.

My reason for writing, however is to do with seeing the BULL chimney sweeps among your interests.  I remember as a child in Andover seeing a poem written in large letters on the side of a house in East St.  It began "Luke Bull lives here, sweeps your chimneys far and near"  My brother remembers all of it, and if you contact Andover Museum they would give you a copy, as I know it's there.  Andover library have a collection of old local photos, both in books and separately.  Hampshire Record Office has a huge collection of photos.

While researching family in Whitchurch, Hants I have seen Bull chimney sweeps there too.

TY Grandma for your reply, yes I have seen Luke Bull,s inscription.  I have researched the Bull side, but it,s complicated and ongoing.  (what tree isn,t lol ), I used to visit Andover to see my grandparents, dad was born there.  The Fish Shop keeps coming back to haunt me. I will take your advice and contact the library.

The Hampshire CALM database has something for Abraham KNIGHT of Andover  - perhaps the father of the Abraham you mention.  It may mention his occupation.

but the site is down again at the moment. :(

Have you tried Historical Directories?
