My ancestor John Britton was a cordwainer which is another term for a shoemaker. He is on the 1841 census in Witham, Essex with wife Sarah.

Hi Simon

Charles Osborne of Marshfield, Gloucestershire was described as a Collar Maker at the baptism of his son in 1822 and subsequently as a Harness Maker in the marriage certificates of his son in 1842 and 1850.

We have a John Robinson, Master Boot Maker who lived at 230 Watford High Street, Watford, Herts in 1871 census with his first wife Emma.  He was born between 1827 and 1830 (we can't find the actual record) in Paddington Middlesex.  He died in Watford in 1893 and is buried in Vicarage Road Cemetery.  His second wife Dorcas carried on the trade for a couple of years after his death and then moved to Bolton.

Should you come across any further records we would be grateful if you could let us know.  We can't find him on the 1841, 1851, or 1861 census.  Lots of boot and shoe makers, but none born in Paddington that fit the bill so far.

Hope this adds to your database.
Robinson, Bolton, Bryant, Tydeman, Turner, Robertson
