Fox Furniture Factory employees .
« on: Tuesday 11 May 21 21:46 BST (UK) »
My family in Paddington London worked for Fox Furniture factory which later went to Staples Corner . Each time I look for Wharton , Lacey and others their employment is mattress maker , bolster maker , upholstery etc etc so it sounds like the Fox Furniture factory was an large enterprise . My great aunt Lavinia Lacey was an upholsterer who married up . In fact married the owner Charles Montugue Fox and her brother William Lacey was the manager . It was obviously a firm who believed in nepotism . I would like direction in how to find an employee list especially 1880 to pre WW1. Any other information is welcomed . Links etc that I can look up . Thanks . Fred . Ps in recent days I have discovered several Lacey and Wharton’s ,cousins and friends used their work for nefarious purposes as their criminal  records all say mattress makers . TY

I very much doubt you will find an employee list from so long ago.

Hi , probably not , I looked on line and found that Fox Furniture Factory as the family knew it was in fact Charles Fox Furniture Ltd. Reynard Mills in Brentford . It was a very large concern . It would be amazing to find any paperwork at all . Thanks Fred .
