Peckham The Fishmonger
A Memory of Douglas.
My great grandfather, Henry William Peckham was a fishmonger, mentioned in Brown's Directory of 1882. He is reputed to have owned some land on the coast/beach/promenade at Douglas. Here fish was sold 'on the front' from a table.
My father was born at Douglas in 1896 and stories have carried forward of his sisters, or aunts, still selling fish there in early 1900's.

I hope I am still able to contact you here, I notice your comment was posted rather a long time ago?
My Great Grandfather was Thomas Peckham. He is the Grandson of Henry Peckham, Fishdealer at 4 Maughold Street, Isle of Man. Do you think we may be a part of the same family?
I would love to hear from you.
