| | HAWLEY | Henry Samuel | Blacksmith | 1866: Henry Samuel Hawley, born 1866. Henry was the youngest son of Charles (of 1829). Charles' occupation on the birth certificate is 'Journeyman Blacksmith'. Henry grew up to be a blacksmith too, as shown on his marriage certificate. He married Annie Mead in 1884. Later he specialised his blacksmith skills as a toolsmith catering to the stonemason's trade. He appears in the 1901 census as a tool smith and on his youngest son's birth certificate as a tool smith. It is believed he made and repaired all of the stonemason's tools used on Tower Bridge. I believe the business name was 'Henry Samuel Hawley and Sons', but I have no documents to prove it. I believe that the business was continued by Henry's son Frederick when Henry moved away from London in about 1906. Contact Dane by. |
| | REYNOLDS | Benjamin | Blacksmith | 1700: Benjamin Reynolds was a blacksmith in the late 1700’s & was apprenticed to a blacksmith named LUNN in Cove in the parish of Yateley Hampshire (now Berks). His family all came from local parts of this parish back to 1720. Died 1786 aged 30yrs leaving a wife and 5 children. He died in Isleworth Middlesex his wife having recently given birth to a son Thomas in Isleworth. Two of his other children were born in Cobham Surrey and Kingston also in Surrey. Also listed in Blacksmiths of Hampshire & Surrey. I believe that he was a travelling blacksmith with his family which would explain the births at these other parishes. I have not found any articles to verify this and wondered if this was a common practice assuming they could not afford their own premises. If you can share any information or recommend any books of reference, please contact his GG Grandson by. |
