London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / tailor of Westminster
« on: Thursday 09 June 05 17:26 BST (UK) »
My great-great-grandfather's occupation according to his death certificate is a tailor of Westminster. I do know that his son was a tailor for the House of Lords which makes me wonder if being a tailor of Westminster is a tailor for something to do with the government? I had assumed when I first read it that he was a tailor "IN" Westminster as in the place. Has anybody else looked into being a "tailor" as a trade in the 1800's and if there's any lists or information of apprentices or registration? Any idea if its possible to get information about past employees of the government such as a tailor to make the robes?
