Title: Willow hat manufacturer in east london in 1815
Post by: cjamesuk on Monday 20 March 06 20:11 GMT (UK)
My great great great father on the birth of his daughter in 1815said his occupation was a willow hat manufacturer.  Can anyone shed any light on this.

In 1819 he had moved to Suffolk and was a willow cutter, he lived in Stowupland.  Does anyone know anything about willow cutting in that area

thanks
