No, he wasn't born there, but worked at Gurney House, Middlesbrough until he got a job in Norfolk in 1983 - and never looked back :-D ;-)

Oh yes, how I loved Whitby as a child! We went there often. I remember the 199 steps up to the abbey. In later years when I started this genealogy lark I was thrilled to find out that my gt. grandmother was born in Whitby. (My avatar's wife) I wondered if that's why I loved Whitby so much, it was in my blood.
