Alan - I can tell you that your man was at 6 East Beach Street as early
as Aug 1875 and that WAS his place of work too. I have spotted an advert
in the local paper from George Hemmings Watson. He seems to have been
a bit of a comedian from the wording . If you contact me directly I will send
you the clip as it is a bit too long to type out here

Hi

Did you receive the PM? I accidentally sent 3 times!

Yes Alan - I emailed you the ad at 8.32 last night...It hasn't
come back as 'failed' so I assumed you had received it. I did
tell you I was not very computer literate..I will send it again

cbe managed to find things I had not located previously.

I have found another birth notice in 1871 when the family were in Pleasant Row not far from East Street and this site brings up the goods again because it has a pencil drawing of the Row from 1851.

Also extract from the 1871 census

Gerry, thank you for providing the images, it's great there are records and photos
from their time, it's a fascinating insight into the past.

Thanks again

Kind regards

Alan
