Fire in Great Yarmouth in 1868.
We find this in the local history of Great Yarmouth in the 19th century,written in later life about the town.
We find in a presentation of teachers at the start of a new term.
"Another teacher of the French language was M. Vlieland.
He was greatly incensed when, in an action brought against him, the opposing counsel called him Mr. Flyland.
He stated that his sister was burnt to death at Yarmouth in 1870.
