ESTERBROOK, William (Grimwade p.504, 747)

He was also recorded as Esterbrooke.
He was born around 1784 as evidenced by his burial record.
Grimwade’s suggestion that he may have been the William Esterbrook apprenticed to the Exeter spoon maker Richard Jenkins and made free in 1806 is further endorsed by the marriage of William Esterbrook to Grace Hall at Holy Trinity, Exeter in 1808.
Between 1810 and 1824 eight children of William and Grace Esterbrooke were christened at St Anne, Soho. Some of the christening records show William as a silversmith, in 1815 at Newport Street and in 1817-1824 at St Martin in the Fields. From 1816 he had registered marks at Goldsmiths Hall as a spoon maker from Long Acre which is near to St Martin's church.
The burial of Grace aged 50 years in 1833, late of Hanover Street, Long Acre, was recorded at St Martin in the Fields.
The burial of William aged 54 years in 1838, late of Plumtree Street, Bloomsbury, was recorded at the same church.
