I understand that I have Pierce relations that were fishermen and the family tree seems to confirm that fact.  Does anyone know of a George Pierce who was married but his wife left him, and moved to London with his two children late 1800 or very early 1900s.  One of the children was my grandfather George Pierce. My email is: suegoodwright@hotmail.com I would be pleased to hear from anyone who can help.

Likewise, I'm trying to trace any remnants of the Redman family who were fisherman living in Brighton around the turn of the century. My gran, Edith (Mary) was possibly the youngest one of 9 siblings being born in 1909. You can contact me at blackspaven@hotmail.com. Thank you
