I had to have a look at the original of that, it's actually number 4 The Bartholomews, Brighton and the original image shows the premises as a wholesale fruiterers.

I think the transcribers should have ignored it but must have decided on an arbitrary age.

Pam, have to ask what you were looking for to find that!

It's actually the premises of Mr Jenkins, fruiterer, Clapton

MarieCeleste,

I often go through FS looking for information on my Flitter (Fritter and various other versions) family. I know that in the early 1760's James Fritter married Martha ? but that is as far as I can go.

From the mid 1760's they appear in Thatcham, Berkshire but I can't get back any further, but I suppose I am lucky to have got that far back.

'Fru' was included towards the end of the "Finds" in my search.

Researching:
