Thanks Malky - I should have realised that they are all associated with the military, did wonder about the gun lock m(aker).  Presumably the Brass foundry is also military?

I shouldn't think there was much huntin' shootin' and fishin' in Westminster in 1841, so I would doubt it was Game Keeper.
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.

No, the game keepers shot all of the Camels from Westminster bridge. No Grouse left!!
Mind you, in their memory, they named a road after them, Camel Road, and just to make it authentic, they put in speed "humps". Shame that the Camels never got their just "deserts".

Hello,

William is also my 4x Great grandfather  :) :)
Which of his sons/daughters do you descend from?  :)

How exciting would it be if he fought in the Battle of Waterloo!! I could sing Abba's song with pride  ;D ;D
