John Hassall Genealogy Family History Tree
Posted by: Skegness Magazine on: March 5, 2008
John Hassall created the Skegness Jolly Fisherman poster with the slogan ‘Skegness is SO Bracing’ in 1908, commissioned by the LNER railways.
This year, 2008, it is the centenary of the Jolly Fisherman creation and Skegness has lots of exciting events lined up to celebrate the 100th birthday.
We thought it would be a nice little 100th bithday present for Jolly if we explored the Hassall genealogy and so we have researched his famly history tree. See the link below.
Hassall was born in 1868 in Deal Kent and died in 1948.
Here is John Hassall’s birth certificate and death certificate:
