Wondered if anyone can point me to any info about Gun making in Aston and Birmingham in the C18th? I am trying to find out about one particular maker: Thomas Brueton who seems to have been active from 1750s. I am trying to see if he fits in with my Brueton family tree. I have found some pics attached and the following pointers on Ancestry (but not the records themselves):
?-1756 - takes an apprentice called William Spittle
1770-75 - Thomas Brueton, Gun Maker, 93 High St Birmingham
1776 - Thomas Brueton, Gun Maker, Coleshill St Birmingham
1777-? - Thomas Brueton, Gun Maker, 5 Prospect Row Birmingham
Any info about him, his trade, his places of business would be gratefully received
