Phil,
Yes thanks for getting in touch. I am still in the same position - keen to find out more about the Blakeboroughs and particularly Jonathan - it seems there was a bit of a dynasty of family watch or clockmaking. I am not at all clear how the watch came into my family's posession - or when. One half of my family came from the Yorkshire Dales - Harrogate way so there is a geographic proximity perhaps. If you have any more about the watch/clockmaking ancestry of your family it would be fantastic. I have no idea how much the watch is worth - for insurance purposes do you have any idea what I should be looking at?
Thanks, Graham
