Coastguards: A memory of Southwold

Coastguards

A Memory of Southwold.

My great great grandfather was the chief coastguard here in 1881-1884, so he would have lived here. I used to visit here numerous times as a child but never knew this fact until I started researching my ancestry. It makes me very proud to see this photo :)

Juliet. I have my great great grandfather's coast guard service records and it states that he was the "chief officer" of the Southwold Coast Guard from the 16th July 1875 until the 20th May 1887. Either we are talking about the same person or our relatives must have worked together. Either way I would be interested to find out what you know.
