I have found many references to the Pryse Redman guns and stories in the collectors press and webpages, they all repeat the assumption that there was a Charles Pryse jnr who took over the firm. The only other Charles Pryse in the family was a nephew who was not successful and died early.

Family History Beginners Board / Charles Pryse - Gunmaker & Jeweller, Birmingham
« on: Tuesday 17 September 19 01:48 BST (UK) »
Charles Pryse, born 10 Feb 1814 Birmingham died 12 Mar 1887. Joint owner of Pryse & Redman, gunmakers and Jewellers of 84 Aston St. Birmingham.
Married Emma Amelia Neck 20 Oct 1860 in Blomsbury, Three children Charles Henry Redman Pryse 1863 - 1873 ?, Henry Louis Vanneck Pryse 1865 - 1920, Annie Gwyneth Pryse 1868 - 1963.
Publications of English Gunsmiths and Groups and enthusiasts of English Guns, record that Charles Pryse junior, son of the owner of Charles Pryse & Co, after the partnership with Redman was dissolved, ran the business from 1873 - 1888. seeing that the only son called Charles that I know of was born in 1863 this seems improbable, and I think he died in 1873, but might be mistaken.
Is possible that Charles Pryse snr had another son Charles by an earlier marriage, but seems unlikely.
Can we check this out please.

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Thomas Blood and sons of Cannon St, Birmingham
« on: Saturday 23 December 17 06:50 GMT (UK) »
Thanks
I am currently assuming that the mother had the child christened by herself giving the amended name of the father but retaining his profession.
I am having problems identifying the mother and indeed the wives of the grandfather Thomas and the great grandfather Thomas Blood.
The child obviously was quite aware of the identity of his father. reference the marriage certificate.
Thanks for your support on my theories.

Family History Beginners Board / Thomas Blood and sons of Cannon St, Birmingham
« on: Saturday 23 December 17 05:44 GMT (UK) »
Thomas Blood and his son Thomas (born 1765 - 1839) were a toy makers and glass pinchers of Cannon St Birmingham. The family lived in Temple St and then in 1820 moved to Cannon St living at No 25 between 1820 and 1839.
The second Thomas left a will (secured from Ancestry) showing he had a large portfolio of properties around Tamworth and in Birmingham particularly Cannon St (facsimile from Ancestry) The will divided the properties between his sons George and William. George, who took up articles with an attorney in Cannon St when he was 15 and died in 1839 claiming to be a bachelor leaving his estate to his farmer brother William in Tamworth.
There is a christening certificate and marriage certificate for a George Blood Moore. The christening certificate (St Mary's Birmingham) states the mother Mary Moore father is George Moore, lawyer. The Wedding certificate from All Saints, Warwick on 5th November 1846, states father is George Blood, Lawyer.
I am assuming the mother was alone at a mass christening at St Mary's.
It is most likely that there is a complete muddle with wifes and fathers at this time.
Is any one else researching the Bloods of Cannon St and Tamworth
Cheers!!

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Bradford and District Power Loom Overlookers' Society 1862
« on: Tuesday 03 November 15 02:32 GMT (UK) »
The Ascough's lived in Moody Street, Bowling; 1861 Census lodger was Squire Stansfield - worsted overlooker; in 1863 the Society probably assisted emigration to Tasmania of widow Eleanor Ascough (nee Harrison) and Ellen Ascough. The ladies returned to Moody Street in 1865. Lodger in 1871 census was William Harrison Smithers - worsted factory overlooker.
Does anyone have knowledge of members of the Bradford and District Overlookers Society and any connection to Harrison or Smithers?
NOTE: Significant poor relief funds were collected at the time of the cotton drought in Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield etc Much of the money collected was never distributed - much like current times!!
