‘Twas Brillig*

I crosschecked the date of Horace Barnard Coy’s marriage with those of any Littles on FreeBMD and it turns out Sophie Little was really Hannah Sophia Little and I now by way of the  1881 and 1901 censuses know about some of her family - it seems there are a lot of fishermen in my roots and some bizarre triangle consisting of Grimsby (New Clee/Clee with Weelsby), Sheringham and Withernsea.

I’ve updated the Bosman/Coy/Partridge/Packham* Ferris/Langstone** family genealogy pages with nearly everything I know - I need to add lots of source details and I want to rationalise the place names.

*My grandparents’ surnames

**Ruth’s parents’ surnames
