Someone might be interested. This is a link to an article in today's Eastern Daily Press about the restoration of a headstone in St Nicholas' churchyard which commemorates a sailor who died after being involved in a sea battle with a pirate http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/yarmouth_gravestone_recounts_tragic_sea_battle_with_pirate_1_977605 The sailor was David Bartleman date 1781 but the ship was of North Shields so he may not have been a Norfolk man. The restoration was paid for by the Pearson family who believe their distant ancestors may have been pirates ( itself an interesting story which the EDP does not seem to have picked up on) Rosie
