Thanks again for your contribution Maiden Stone. Through the blacksmith link you gave, I ended up at Wikipedia under City Of London Governance which gave clues as to how they may have been listed as blacksmiths.

He was a hosier up until about 1790 and living at 99 Minories London. He married an Ann Pinchback in 1785. I then have him as the grocer and tea merchant after 1793 at Burr St. I am guessing he was born around 1754 but there does not seem to be any blacksmith reference. I have seen a reference to one of his sons Nathaniel Davis being a freeman blacksmith in 1817 but he was a wine merchant at the time. There is very little I can find about Pinchbacks and I was wondering if voting rights could have been transferred from them.

Thanks Maiden Stone.
The list I have is UK, Poll Books and Electoral Registers 1538-189? and for the year 1795.
The paper you have referred me to will explain a lot.
Thanks again

Hi Chempat
His name is John Davis of 54 Burr St Upper East Smithfield (or Wapping).
I believe he died in 1813 and buried at St Botolph Without Aldgate.

I know my ancestor was a grocer in London in 1796 but the electoral roll lists him at the same address as a blacksmith. I have tried to understand voting rights but it seems complex. Can anyone explain this.

This is my first experience with RootsChat and I am amazed at the quick response. Thankyou Claire (sparkle26) and to Sinann. I was not aware of a Francis. Would there be a death record for him?

Thankyou again
Colin
