Hi, I am new to the Forum, I joined for my family history research.
Interestingly I just came across Samuel Metcalf, master jeweller yesterday. he was a jeweller in 1861-1881 censuses, after which he became a fruiterer in 1891-1901. He was referenced on a military attestation as a place where Thomas Gent was an apprentice silversmith.
Do you know approx how many jewellers there were in the district?
