Birmingham glass blowers

[kooky]

My Clulo glassmaker ancestors originated in Birmingham and eventually settled in Manchester.
My Kay           "                "         originated in Tyneside and moved to Edinburgh. Some stayed there and one moved to Manchester via Staffordshire.
I would be interested in any info. about glassmakers in Edinburgh.

Hello Grogan,

Edward Tatton's son John William Tatton married Jessie Mc Lellan in 1878.  Jessie was my 2 x great grand aunt.  They had one son Edward born 1879.  John, like his father was a glassmaker.  I would love to make contact.  Jessie unfortunately died in 1879.

kind regards from a cold and wet Melbourne Australia.

There's a new book which may interest some:

and an older but very detailed work:

British Glass 1800 - 1914 by Charles R Hajdamach (Antique Collectors Club, 1991).

Just found this, I'm also interested in glass blowers / makers in Birmingham. My 4x great grandfather William Price was a glass blower around the 1820s and 30s. He may have come from the Colwich, Staffs area.
