Fisherman George Brown

In the midst of life

We are in death.

In loving memory of

GEORGE BROWN

The beloved son of

MARY ANN PINDER,

Who was drowned at Grimsby,

SEPTEMBER 25th 1902.

AGED 27 YEARS.

Gone from us but not forgotten

Never will his memory fade

Sweetest thoughts will ever linger

Around the tomb where he is laid.

 

George was born in 1875 in the village of California on the coast of Norfolk.

At 16 years old George was an agricultural labourer living at 80 Yarmouth Road, Caister-on-Sea, Norfolk.

Also living at the address were,

Thorp Pinder, 57, a Prudential assurance agent

Mary Ann Pinder, 50. wife

Eva E, Pinder, 12, a scholar

Charlie Pinder, 14, a scholar

Ann Rodgers, 88, mother-in-law, widowed

James Brown, 21, a fisherman

Walter Brown, 19, a fisherman

Lawrence Brown, 17, a fisherman

I am presuming that Mary Ann was married to a man called Brown and she had four sons before marrying Thorp Pinder and that George's three older fishermen brother took him from agriculture to fishing.

George drowned, at Grimsby on Thursday 25th. September 1902, aged 27. At the time of his death he possibly was a crew member on a boat called Newland. He was buried in the Caister Village Cemetery on 7th. October 1902, the Revd. David Wallace Duthie officiating.
