    1. [EEA] NORTH COVE, SUFFOLK, FISHING, ST. JOHN'S SCHOOL IN IPSWICH

    3. My grandmother, Hannah CROWE, was born at North Cove, Suffolk which is close to the sea and to the Norfolk border. I am writing a book which includes all I can find of her life. Since I live in the USA, inland, there is much I do not know about what her life as a child would have been like in North Cove. She was born in 1869 and was sent to Ipswich to St. John's Orphanage/School when she was almost eight years old. Her father had been a fisherman, but is occasionally is listed as an agricultural labourer. I am in need of someone to tell me what she might have experienced and seen as a young child in that area. I am also interested in what her father, William CROWE, would have done as a fisherman--how he would have gone to the fishing boat etc. Any information that anyone can give me will not only be appreciated by myself, but a very large family of relatives who are interested in this history. Thank you. Lila Eubanks
