The museum in Guildhall Road Northampton has a large database of boot and shoe makers which it has gathered over many years.  This is  a national rather than a local collection.  You might consider co-ordinating with them rather than duplicating what they already have.

Hi

All my family date back to 1766 as Shoe Makers, Cordwainers, and all trades related to shoemaking.

I have traced my family and lots of branches and  most were still Shoemakers in 1901.  If you would like details please pm me

Richard Wells Saunders who was baptised in Tetsworth Oxfordshire in 1789 was a saddler and harness maker in Thame.  Two of his sons followed his trade.

Francis Woolhouse Saunders born 1817 Thame
Robert Saunders born 1821 Thame who eventually became a saddler in Windsor.

Francis had a son of the same name in 1846 who eventually became a saddler and harness maker in Sandy Bedfordshire.  He made over 500 saddles for the French Army during the Franco Prussian War and saddles for a number of famous people including the Duke of Saxe Weiniar when he was Colonel of the Life Guards.

Hello there David

Thanks so much for the information. I will add it to my directory. I am interested to know more about Francis junior. He is a sort of contemprary of my ancestor Louis Jeffery, born in 1856, who was a prominent Saddle and Harness maker in Paris from the late 1870's onwards.

Best regards

Simon
