I am looking for the Decendants of GEORGE RUFFLE/RUFFELL He was born in 1856 lived in a Caravan and was a Showman, as was his father GEORGE, (Swingboat Propietors) They later settled in Poole, Dorset, where they became Fish Hawkers and were very well known in the Quay pubs!!! Indeed, it was as a result of a drunken bet, after leaving the "Jolly Sailor", that GEORGE drowned in the harbour in 1898!!! The family had Doss Houses in and around Strand St, Poole. You could say that they were well known to the local Police. My Great Grandfather, (Georges son), WILLIAM GEORGE RUFFLE/RUFFELL, had to change his name to his mothers maiden name of ROLFE and move away to Portsmouth!! WILLIAM, aka BILL MOONUS was a notorious poacher in and around Dorset!!!! Also, anyone know of a SNEAKER RUFFELL? |
