Yes, I have re-entered your olden haunts at last;
Through the years, through the dead scenes I have tracked you;
What have you now found to say of your past -
Viewed across the dark space wherein I have lacked you?
From "After a Journey" by Thomas Hardy

Currently, all Tappins living in Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire are related and originate from William Henry Tappin who came to the town in 1890 from Guildford, Surrey when he was apprenticed at the age of 13 to the Great Grimsby Ice Company as a fisherman. William, along with his younger brother, had been an inmate of the Guildford Workhouse and in the 19th century an apprenticeship was a very common way of dealing with the social problem of children whose families had fallen upon hard times.
