As you can see from the enclosed pages of "Pigot's 1840-Ramsgate" , the Cull family is very well represented. Elizabeth and John(above) probably worked for one of the local businesses. Hardres Street runs perpendicular to High Street. Both are obviously commercial areas.
Ramsgate is the starting point for English Channel swimmers, and when I was a youngster, my Uncle Edward George Hutton had a photgraph showing three( or was it four) men wearing old style swim suits, I am sure they were of the Cull family, and I often wonder if they competed either in local events or across the channel!
