Summary[edit]

Description
English: Fishermen at Bognor Regis, West Sussex, by William Pankhurst Marsh (1850-1918) of Bognor, who operated from 1875 until 1905.

Personal description of image provided by User:Verge33ː
"I am able to provide positive identifications of two of these fishermen in this postcard if anyone would like to know. The central man who is talking and everyone is looking at (the older man 2nd from the right with a pipe in his mouth) is William Hellyer born in Bognor on 26 Mar 1838. He was a fisherman who lived and worked his whole life in Bognor and had 9 children with his wife Isabella. About 1910 William posted a sign appealing to the residents of Bognor for donations to repair his fishing net which had been practically destroyed by Bottle Nosed sharks that had been caught in it. William Hellyer died in Bognor on 11 Aug 1921 having never remarried after his wife left in 1882. The other fisherman I can positively identify is the man standing right beside William to the left of him. That is William's son Frederick Thomas Hellyer born in Bognor Dec 1876. He was also a fisherman from the age of 15 who lived and worked most of his life in Bognor. He was married twice and had 4 children. He died in Chichester, Sussex in Feb 1936. These identifications were made by great grandchildren of William Hellyer and corroborated by other known photos of the two men as well."
