Hi list, In the 1851 census, my ancestor Samuel Beckett Knight is recorded as a Fisherman. He was living at Seaside Road Cottages. Does anyone know where this is? Does anyone know where i can look to find out more information about what being a fisherman at this time may have been like? Are there any records of fishermen that i can look for? He died in 1858 aged 96 so had a long life! Can anyone find reference to him on teh 1840 census with his wife Hannah? Any information would be interesting Thanks for your help Alison _________________________________________________________________ Celeb spotting – Play CelebMashup and win cool prizes https://www.celebmashup.com

Alison, You were asking about information about Sussex Fishermen. My Mother's side were Fishermen in Hastings around about this time there are some good books around and Hastings, England - has a good Fishermen's museum. Kevin (england)
