Subject: PACE Clockmakers of London
Date: Sun, 09 Apr 2000
From: Geoff White in Helsinki Finland

There were quite a few PACE clockmakers in LONDON.
The dates given are those which have been estimated by a study of known clocks.

  • Thomas - London, 1630 - 1662 member of the Clockmaker's Company
    - a trade guild which means that he could employ apprentices and other workmen
    - more accurate records for this Thomas will doubtless exist still with the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers

  • John - London. apprenticed 1720
  • Thomas - London (Whitechapel) 1784 - 1825
  • Henry - London (Whitechapel), early 1800s
  • Henry - London, 1832 - 1863 (this Henry may well be the previous one.
    The first is more a guesstimate)
  • Charles - London, 1839 - 1851, successor to Henry
  • Thomas - London 1828
  • Edmund - London, 1839 - 1844

    Some non-London Paces which may be interesting:

  • John - Bury St. Edmunds, 1825 - 1855
  • H. - Loughton, Essex, 1855
  • Hugh - Newry, 1865 - 1892
  • Thomas - Chelmsford, c. 1800

    Then it seems that some moved out:

  • Henry - Ottawa, 1875
  • Henry - Brampton, Canada, 1862
  • C, San Francisco, c. 1850

Hope this lot helps!
