| main page | The Triggs family moved to Hoylake around c1900 and have become established as one of the 'old' families in the town. We have been fishing the local waters and foreshores for generations, there are still Triggs' going to sea daily to make a living in the fishing industry. Though as each generation arrives fewer are going into the business as it is becoming harder and harder to scratch a living. When my Grandfathers generation reached the age of 9 years they were pulled out of school to work the family boats. |

| It
is for this reason those who lost an eductation made absolutely sure that
their children were encouraged to learn and get a better start in life.
It did not matter how much schooling or further education we each received
though, the sea is in our blood and we have all done our 'time' over the
shore. It is a great way to get to know your extended family, working
in a family industry. I think of 2nd cousins and in some cases 2nd-once-removed
as first cousins as I have spent so much time with them. |
