In October 1812 George at the address you have given Jennifer was indicted as follows:
275. GEORGE WINTLE was indicted, for that he, on the 6th of October , feloniously did forge and counterfeit a certain impression used by the Company of Goldsmiths, in London, in pursuance of a certain Act of Parliment, made and passed in the 4th year of our Lord the King, entitled an Act for granting to his Majesty certain duties on all silver plate, made and wrought in Great Britain, and for the making and stamping of silver plate, to wit, the mark of the King's head, upon divers silver plate, to wit, one silver table-spoon and one silver fork .
The evidence goes on and George is acquitted. Part of his defence was that he now lived in the country and had passed the business to his son James.
I also have George and James listed in various directories.
My dilemma is that do I have the correct James Wintle to connect with both his son Frederick Holmes Wintle and the Father George Wintle - Gent or Silversmith? Or, can they be one and the same?
