We recently received an email from Pat Mahoney in New Zealand seeking help from us in his family tree research. His great great grandfather Patrick was in command of the Lyme Division of the Coast Guard until his retirement in 1891. After some research we were able to confirm that the Mahoney family lived in the building now occupied by the Hix Town House in Pound Street next door to the Regent Cinema. The 1881 census shows Patrick, his wife and 7 children, plus one servant at the address.
