Does any one know if there are any records of Clock/Watchmakers? My grandfather x3 was a Clock/Watchmaker (Journeyman) in the Clerkenwell area of London c1840/1860. Where would I find any records if they exsist please? Also his father was a silk ribbon weaver, would this have been done in the home? Thanks for any help. Marianne. |
