Benjamin Trist watchmaker
« on: Friday 08 January 16 23:01 GMT (UK) »
Benajmin Trist was born about 1806 in Devon and is on the 1841 census in Brixham as a watchmaker. I think he also made grandfather clocks. He died in 1849 of cholera but his widow Sarah Curtis Trist and his son carried on the business as a silversmith.  Is it possible to find out who Benjamin was apprenticed to?

Hope you can help.
