My Aunt

"I loved reading about the fishwives selling their buckies etc.

My Aunt, Rebecca Hartley, was a fishwife from Leith and used to sell her buckies in and around Leith in the 1940s and 1950s.

I'd love to hear from anyone who may have known her.  My Mum said she remembers a picture of her wearing the full Fishwife's outfit, carrying her basket on her back with the thick leather belt across her forehead.  this photo has been lost in time."

Thank you.    -  Peter Stubbs:  August 15, 2008
