Thank you for that link Sam.
Not sure that I can picture the surrounding quilting effect, but it's an interesting article.
Thanks for your help.

I have looked at census for Wandsworth, London and found a weaver of Bolton cloth....I think that's what it says.
What is that ?

Charles Philip Blackmore died c.1843
