Hi,

Could anyone tell me if the bronze statue of the fisher woman in Nairn, was created from a living person back in the day, I had read somewhere it maybe "Ralph" If so, would anybody know of their family tree, as my grandfather was a Ralph also.

The statue is based on an actual fishwife, Annie Ralph, one of the last of the Nairn fishwives. It was unveiled by Janet Urquhart, Annie Ralph's great niece.

Thanks Edward for the information.

My ancestry line are Ralphs also, but I don't think It's the same line, as my grandfather came to Australia in the early 1900's.
