 :Hi Lizzie

  Many thanks for replying to my few lines.  Hope you enjoyed them as I did when I found them originally in the library book on Gt Yarmouth. Interesting to know you have visited Gt Yarmouth and seen what remains of the ROWS.  We are unable to do this at the moment since we retired to Somerset some 15 years ago, but are hoping to move back to Essex to be with our family soon.  So hopefully I can make my visit then.

If there is anything you think I can help you with, as I have done loads of research, please let me know.  But I have mostly been researching the Names Taylor and Larke (the latter my maiden name, ) during which I have come across names like Paston, Archer, Morley, Calver, Bullent and Thompson to name a few.

Bye for now      Cleaver.

I recently had accesss to a book on Great Yarmouth in which I find the following to be of iterest:-

There were originally 145 of these ROWS, about 7 miles in total, all of them built at right angles to the sea and therefore freely ventilated by onshore breezes which, given the urban sanitary conditions of those times, must have been extremely welcome!!  The bombing raid of 1942 completely destroiyed the interior of St Nicholas Church but left its walls standing.
There is enough of the rows remaining, after they were badly bombed in 1942 to show their unique character.

I hope some will find this info interesting, as I did.  Many of my ancestors, named Larke and Taylor lived especially in Row 139 and christened or married in St. Nicholas Church.
 Most or all were fishermen.

Best wishes to all Great Yarmouth descendants from  a new recruit:  Cleaver

Hi

I have been researching the Taylor and Larke family of Great Yarmouth and have found that Paston was the surname of my grandmother's mother who was a Taylor.  Most of the Taylors and Larks were fishermen.

I have discovered that a James Paston was born in 1795, maried to Ann also born in 1795 and in the 1851 census lived in Goal Street, The Nelson Ward. I would be pleased to exc hange information with you if that is what you want.   Best wishes Cleaver
