Ruth:
I am very glad to hear that you are planning to investigate the mystery of
John Pace of Middlesex. This mystery needs someone with your skill and
experience to uncover new clues.
I was wondering what you think of the Baptism record in Hungar's Parish in
1662 which shows a John Pace born to John and Mary Pace. Is Hungar's Parish
in Middlesex County? Couldn't this John Pace, b. 1662, be John Pace of
Middlesex?
And who was this older John Pace?

Thomas Pace - London clockmaker
I accidentally came across a library book here in London and noticed a long
clock made by Thomas Pace. I think the date was around 1620 but can't
remember exactly. (I should carry pen and paper!) I looked in another
library and found a smaller clock, also by Thomas Pace, from the "Regency
Period". It looks likely that my Pace line centred around E. London so I
would suspect a connection. Does anyone know of this Thomas? I intend to
go web surfing for more of his clocks.

THOMAS PACE - 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
There were quite a few PACE clockmakers in LONDON.
The dates given are those which have been estimated by a study of known
clocks.
from Geoff White, Helsinki Finland
another Shropshire, Staffordshire family researcher
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
from: 'Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World'
by G.H.Baillie, 2nd edition 1947,
which lists clockmakers up to 1825.
The best clock library in the world is at the
headquarters of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors
(NAWCC) in Columbia, PA.

the following appeared in
THE EDMONTON NEWS - Edmonton Alberta
November 12 1907
in reference to FRED PACE, brother of the above HENRY PACE - Ottawa,
1875 who came to Canada from London and appears in the 1871 census of
Ontario.
"He came of the family that made the old time clocks upon so many of
which the name of Pace will be found inscribed in the old country, and
was for a time with Lloyd's in London and was always a very clever
business man."
Henry Pace ran a jewellery store at 29 Sparks Street, Ottawa 1877 78 79
later, Lethbridge Alberta where he ran a shop, adjoining the LETHBRIDGE
HOUSE.
Henry Pace died 1899 Lethbridge and was buried at St. Paul, Minnesota
where his daughter, a Mrs. KITTSON, lived at that time.
