Having served the people of Rosslare over the course of three centuries and been involved in some of the most difficult and dangerous rescues in the history of Co Wexford, the Wickham family have been recognised for their efforts by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). Beginning with Thomas Wickham in the late 1800s, five generations of the family have served in various roles with the RNLI, with lifeboat volunteer Sean Cullen (18) the latest to continue this proud tradition.
