Tea Spoons
« on: Sunday 02 January 11 10:38 GMT (UK) »
There are silver tea spoons made by a Sweet family 1n the 1700's on display at the Taunton musuem in Somerset, UK. If anyone knows which Sweet family made the spoons please let me know as I am researching the Sweet families of Crewkerne, Merriott and Wales' looking forward for any info

Silly question maybe, but have you asked the museum about what they know of the spoons ?  :)

The museum seems to be closed at the moment but expected to open sometime in 2011- there are contact details on the website:
