Hi Bluejacket

Hi a writer.
                  Thank you for your message. Unfortunately I have very little information concerning the fishermen who moved to Grimsby from Sheringham. If you have any information you are willing to pass on  or perhaps publish the list on rootschat so other researchers can benefit. I am sure it will be gratefully received.

Regards. Blue Jacket.

Hi Redroger.
                   I have not found the name McKrills etc amongst the fishermen who moved from Sheringham to Grimsby. They were all local names such as West, Little, Bishop, Johnson etc.

Thanks, they are and were something of a mystery. Trawler owners in Grimsby WW1 period.

Coming late to this so you are probably sorted. I was on Ancestry but came off a while back, but hope to resume shortly. My full info is on that site so I can only give you a little from memory. My ancestors were Shannock fishermen back to 1630, surname Grice. My great grandfather, Robert Henry `King Kong` Grice and his younger brother ` Chicken` Grice were on a lugger in Grimsby, around 1870-ish. If my memory serves me correctly, most of the crew were also from Sheringham given their surnames. The census I think gives the vessel name and the roles of each crew member ( 7 I think ). Anyway, if you think this will help let me know and I`ll get the kosher info from Ancestry.
