Interesting ... just 2 entries earlier there is a Joseph Harris jnr who is a button maker.
Thanks Di, that's brilliant, yes the Harris family, owned a Button Factory, James Grove did his apprentership there, he then went onto to have his own business. I am very interested in Phoebe Silk as I have a Mary Silk, 7x Gt Granny, she was born about 1720 though, but the Silks were few and far on the ground, so could be a connection there! Cheers Di from Linell.
