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.
