I wonder if all his papers he says were secured for the future still exist.

Yes.You are right. Relied on AI to read it. John was a chaff cutter pre 1881. I agree that probability is that James (1843-1899) started the business the 1870s. As it stands there is no evidence for an earlier date. Thank you for your input.

I think so as well, but Edgar Hiley was very in touch with the brassfounders still in business in 1957 so I would expect him to be correct. It may be just a question of what is meant by founded and there may be earlier relatives I can't identify. My feeling is that the mention of 1837 is an...
