Hi there, My great 3, or 4 x great uncle, was Edmund Heeley... a silversmith, manufacturer, pen maker etc at 25 union street birmingham... and I would like to find out more about him, i can only find a few mentions of him on the net, and most of the info i have of him is from a trade advert of his...
Could anyone tell me more of him? would there be any photos of the building? 25 union street?...
He lived 1799 - 1871 and retired to walsall...
I have also seen mention of a James Heeley, who made much the same as Edmund (some of there products even sharing the same name) could James be a relative? to me it seems highly possible, perhaps the successor of Edmund?
The top of the advert for Edmund heely also says somehting that has me curious "EDMUND HEELEY & Co. (from Richards') "
could this mean that he formerly worked at a place called Richards's ? if so does anyone know of that?
Im new to using this forum, so hopefully, Ive added the advert as an attachment correctly lol
hope someone can help
