Local jewellers listing Holborn area & surrounds 1840s and 1850s??

[rbell35]

Seeking any local directory of jewellers in the Holborn and surrounding area during the 1840a and 1850s??

Specifically too I am seeking the existence of a John William PATTERSON who was such a jeweller and I believe in this general area (but cannot be certain though!).

Perhaps someone has access to such a listing of these tradespeople??

Thanks,
Rob

Hi

Historical Directories which is free to search does have

Post Office London Directory, 1841. [Part 1: Street, Commercial, & Trades Directories)

I doubt if there's a separate directory just for jewellers, but I could be wrong.  There will however be a section for them in any trade directory of the period.  The Historical Directories site is patchy.

Holborn in next door to Clerkenwell, and both were areas where watchmakers and jewellers worked - and the famous Hatton Garden is off the road called Holborn.

Hi


There is only the directory details already given in the previous post for London in the 1840s and 1850s in Historical Directories.

Dear Jeuel,

That is interesting about Holborn because I am also searching for an 1851 & 1861 Census entries for :

279 Holborn in that area but it does not state it was a street or anything really!

Does this correspond with any address format that you recognise?

Thanks very much
Regards,
Rob

Hi

May I just post a reminder that Hatton Garden / Leather Lane is in that area.
Hatton Garden being the centre of the jewellery trade for "centuries".

So, if you are looking for a short list of merchants ............

Dear Croxley,

Yes I am trying to locate a jeweller by the name of John William PATTERSON around the 1850s and 1860s if possible??

Thanks,

Hi


Have you located John William Patterson on the 1851 and 1861 censuses?
