The last time we walked along there was a year ago (it was in the daytime)
and there was a gang of down-and-outs (is that term allowed?) down there and a
couple of police officers were talking to them. I certainly wouldn't walk down there
at night

Gerry - great stuff - just received the snippet about Frederick
and Kate's contretemp with Martha Waters.....After seeing addresses too
there is no doubt at all that these are my people - oh the shame !!!

Many thanks indeed

Gerry many thanks indeed. Will look further into these - certain that the third item is mine. My Frederick's wife was indeed called Kate AND there was a wedding in the family (his sister Ellen to Thomas Gasson) in July 1903 - be sure your sins will find you out. We come down to Hastings most years b...

Many thanks for that Richard. That certainly rings true in that
many of my wife's ancestors were in the fishing industry - a few

Long time reader, first time poster.
One of my wife's ancestors lived at 3 Tamarisk Steps
in 1891.
I have been up and down there countless times over

Is there anyone out there with old town knowledge who
can advise?
