London and Middlesex / Brueton's - Gun Makers/Metal Workers- Shoreditch/Stepney
« on: Monday 06 August 18 23:11 BST (UK) »
Hi
I am trying to find the connection between a group of brothers or cousins who worked in both Birmingham and London at gun making and metal refining/reclaiming. Some born in Birmingham and some in London. It's also complicated by their unusual surname because it is often mistranscribed.

Edward & Joseph Brueton - Gun Makers
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=715625.msg5592790#msg5592790
Edward (born about 1787 in Shoreditch but lives Birmingham) and Joseph Brueton (born about 1789 in Darlaston but also moves to Birmingham)
An Edward and Joseph are both in business together in Birmingham in 1858 at 22 Sheep Street - gun finisher/gun breech maker (trade directory, more in link to other topic). I have all the census info for Joseph and wife Phoebe
Edward is on the 1851 census
202 Heneage Street
Birmingham
Edward Bructon (Brueton) b 1787 Shoreditch , London - gun finisher
Elizabeth (nee Cooper) b 1795 Birmingham
Rubin 1831 Birmingham - gun finisher
Hariet 1833 Birmingham
John 1835 Birmingham
Lodgers
Sampson Tims (Sims) 1824 Warwickshire - refiner in gold (Edwards son in law)
Elizabeth 1831 (nee Brueton)
William 1846
Thomas 1 month
Nearby on the same census at Moland Street is
Thomas Brueton b 1791 London, Middlesex (coincidence?) - gold watch hand maker
Ann wife
Moland Street is close to the area where both Edward, Joseph and their family lived or had businesses. I have a lot of info on Joseph but not Edward, or how they are related
I did think this below was Edward (b 1787) but am confused about his date of birth and it looks like he was born before the marriage
St leonards, Shoreditch
Edward Brueton son of
Edward Brueton and Margaret
Bapt 12th June 1791
Born 6th Nov 1791
Marriage
St Dunstan, Stepney
26th May 1795
Edward Brueton to Margaret Tuslin (possibly Tustin?)
Also there are two Edwards in London on the 1841 census, I think both addresses could be a workhouse or some kind of institution?
Ironmonger Row, St Luke, Middlesex,
Edward Brueton age 65/69
Margaret Brueton age 55/59
Gough Street, St Pancras
Edward Brueton 60/64
Ann Brueton (nee hackett?)
There is also a Brueton 'broach maker' on the early census, I think with a Margaret, but sorry I don't have that info at the moment, it's just from memory
There was a Thomas Brueton who was a senior gun maker in the mid 1700's, his name is stamped on some pistols, but we haven't worked out the connection yet or whether he was based in Birmingham or London or both.
Any info or help unravelling them is appreciated
Thanks
