The Common Room / Mayor's Officer?
« on: Friday 25 September 15 21:53 BST (UK) »
Hi all,
An ancestor of mine, Edward Mortimore appears twice in a poll book for Bristol in 1754 (St James Parish). I am confident that they are the same person and he is first listed as a clothier and separately listed as a mayor's officer, the latter a position I am have not come across before and know little else. I'd grateful for any suggestions.

I can see this thread is a little old but I wondered if you were after information on Joseph Dutton or Adelaide Rumley, I maybe of some help indirectly with the latter. Tom

Hi,
I actually meant that William Blackman Williams himself was employed as an architect apprentice. Apologies for any confusion.

Sandra,
Apologises I miss-read your first post, the Family 6 tree you mentioned, I have seen before but I'm afraid that the tree-owner is incorrect in regards to Richard Mortimer. That might sound pompous of me but they've confused a Richard Mortimer from Bradford with my distance relative who was born in Bristol and lived in Keynsham, the finer details don't match up. I've traced the Bristol/Somerset/Wiltshire Mortimers to about 1715.
Besides that thanks very much for your post.

Hi - Thanks for your posts.
Re: Chempat - I haven't but will. I've only just joined the site to reply to someone else's post.
Re: Sandra - the tree's on ancestry may well be mine but I'll recheck. As regards flickr I have come across those photo's before but thanks again for the posts.

Somerset / Brassworks Keynsham - Mortimer's
« on: Sunday 03 May 15 15:57 BST (UK) »
Hi, I am interested in anyone with connections to the Mortimer family which worked at the Brassworks in Keynsham. Richard Mortimer, b. c.1795 Bristol - d. c.1880, (a distant relative of mine) managed the works from the 1850-60s. I've done quite a lot of research on the family and would be keen to share and compile more. Thanks Tom

Hi - I realise your post is regarding WBWs Australian links but I might be able to help you a little with his Bristol past if your interested. William started an apprenticeship as an architect under my ancestor Henry Rumley in 1834 but probably owing to my ancestor going bankrupt in c.1837 William switched to Thomas Foster from 1838. My ancestor took on at least 3 apprentices, including his eldest son between 1834 - 1836. Unfortunately I don't possess any further information on WBW.
