Hi can anybody help my husbands great great great grandad was a Master Watchmaker in London. Is there anyway of writting to anybody to find out if they hold records of people in this trade.

He started out in 1861 as a Watchmaker and by the time of his death in 1918 he was a Master Watchmaker.

Thanks for any help

If he was trading in the City of London he would have been a member of The Worshipful Company of Clockmakers.
Especially if he was a Master Watchmaker?

Might be worth looking here: http://www.clockmakers.org/

Hover your cursor over Museum & Library, then click on Clockmaker Masters & Apprentices.
