Somerset Lookup Requests / Re: SEALEY / SLADE - North Perrot / Haselbury
« on: Sunday 28 June 15 20:43 BST (UK) »
Hello
I am related to north perrott slades.
I have got back to about 1770s
However, what interested me was that a William Slade living in goulds Barton near crewkerne described himself as a cordwainer and shoe and boot maker at various times in his life.
He was born in 1795 or so in haselbury plucknett (next village from north perrott). which also seems to have other cordwainers living there.
Why so many cordwainers and shoe makers in such a small area and do you you know how they were connected ?
Best wishes
Michael Slade
