Isaac and Mary Ann we both living in South Clough Lane before they were married so we presume they were neighbours and this is how they met.

Isaac Shawl Scott

In 1861 Isaac was a Lighterman, a Lighter was a flat bottomed barge, powered by oars, that was used to take stores and equipment to and from moored craft. Later Isaac is described as a Master Boatman, meaning that he was a waterman who employed other men in his business.  In 1891, aged 67 Isaac is described as a Boat Maker. There was still demand for small boats in Kings Lynn, and it seems likely that these were Isaac’s produce. The construction of large ships had ended in the town by this time.

Mary Ann died on the 23rd March 1885 aged 58 years, and is buried in the Hardwick Road Cemetery in Kings Lynn, Plot G781. Isaac died on the 12th August 1915 aged 92 years, and is buried with his wife.
