What a fascinating site! Although I have never lived in Folkestone, I am aware that generations of my ancestors lived on North Street and were associated with the fishing industry. My earliest ancestor, Richard Hart, was recorded as being a ffolkestone ffisherman"" on his marriage to Elizabeth Penny in 1691. My Great Grandfather, John Fraser Hart (1888 - 1957) was the auctioneer and fish salesman on the Stade and my Grandfather, John William Hart, was his Clerk until he was killed in 1940 while serving with the Royal Naval Patrol Service. I have written an illustrated "Partial History of Some of The Hart Family" and am happy to provide a .pdf version, free of charge, if anyone is interested.

Alan Taylor has written a book on Folkestone's fishing history and has a William 'Trunky' Hart in the list of names in the appendix.
I would be interested in a copy of your partial history PDF, please! You can find my e-mail address on the Folkestone & District Local History Society website at [ www.folkestonehistory.org]
