COMPLETED What is meant by "Weaving Apparel"
« on: Saturday 11 October 08 15:50 BST (UK) »
Hi

I have been searching the Sun Fire Insurance records for both John Griffiths (a vctualler, publican, vintner, gentleman) and Samuel Chace (victualler, publican, gentleman and former master mariner). Both often have the following listed:

"Housegold goods, weaving apparel, printed books and plate" usually valued at least £50 in the early 1800s.

What I'd like to know is what is meant by "weaving apparel" and why would a publican have it on his property?

Hope somebody can help

Hi Lyla

Apparel is clothing, so might it say "wearing apparel"?

Oh thanks, I hadn't even thought of that. Yes that seems a lot more likely - the "r" could easily have looked like a "v"

Cheers
