14th Sept 1874. EDWARD NORTHARD, Trinity House lad, gallantly
rescued a boy from
drowning in the Albert Dock. He subsequently received several
public awards
for his bravery.
******NB I have not seen the originals of these 3 entries which are reported as seen, but the dates suggest more than 1 rescue? I expect the 1873 & 1874 events to be one and the same. If anyone has more precise information I should be pleased to hear from you.
