What is a foreign warden?
« on: Monday 05 September 16 23:22 BST (UK) »
Two of my ancestors were Foreign Wardens in the Worshipful Company of Fan Makers. Does anyone know please - what is/was a foreign warden? Does it imply that they were themselves foreign? I'm trying to find my Huguenot links so I'm hoping it might be helpful :) Thanks.

Very late 1700s and early 1800s. Very interesting groom - thank you. That makes sense :-)
