Alexander McLeod of Inverness
Alexander McLeod as a silversmith has been subject of correspondence in the Forum Scottish Hallmarks section where his activities in that trade have been recorded from 1816-1859.
Information from various web sites fills in further detail from 1841.
The headstone on his grave which is situated in Chapel Yard Cemetary Inverness shows McLeod (spelt Macleod on the inscription) died on 14th December 1870 and had been a jeweller.
The Scottish Census of 1841 shows McLeod gave his age as 50 years born Invernesshire, a jeweller at Bridge Street Inverness
The 1851 Census shows him at 61 High Street Inverness aged 62 years, born Invernesshire, a watchmaker.
The 1861 Census shows him at 10 Shore Street Inverness aged 73 years, born in Skye (Isle of) Invernesshire, again a jeweller.
It therefore seems he was born between 1788 and 1791. Whether he continued to produce his own silverwares as a jeweller or watchmaker isn't known.

Re: Churchyard Inscriptions
At St. Dunstans-in-the-West:
To the right of the vestry door an old altar-tomb and recess, with quatrefoils, &c. and on it a tablet of white marble, inscribed:
" To the memory of Richard Pierfon, citizen and goldsmith, 1718, aged 70; and Ruth, his wife, 1720, aged 71. Also Edward Pierfon, their son, 1728, aged 41; and two of their grandchildren, Mary and Richard, 1713 and 1714; and Elizabeth Piersfon, wife of Edward, 1731, aged 52."
Richard Pierson was recorded by Heal as working at the 'Acorn', over against the Temple, next door to the Queen's Head tavern (Fleet Street), from 1672-1712.
Edward Pierson was recorded by Heal as working at the 'Acorn', St Dunstan's-in-the-West (Fleet Street), 1718-1731.
On the East end of the chancel, a tablet:
" To the memory of James Chambers, efq. citizen and goldsmith, formerly an eminent banker of this parish, who fined for sheriff of London anno 1730.
" A man courteous to his neighbours, hearty to his friends, and singularly just to every body; very beneficent to his relations, to whom he parted with upwards of 20,000l. in his life-time. Obiit Sept. 27, 1733, aged 68 years.
" In the fame vault lyes also interred his nephew, Abraham Chambers, fen. citizen and goldsmith. A man every way valuable in life ; a loving husband, a tender father, and a sincere friend. Obiit May 9, 1733, æt. 51.
" To the memory of whom, in a grateful acknowledgement, this monument was erected by their sole executor, Abraham Chambers."
James Chambers was recorded by Heal as working at the 'Three Squirrels', over against St Dunstan's Church, Fleet Street, c.1680-1714.
Abraham Chambers (the executor) was recorded by Heal as working at the 'Falcon', Fleet Street, 1733-1756. He is perhaps to be identified with Abraham Chambers, who worked at the same address and was killed by highwaymen in 1693.

Nor free her from the fatall stroke of Death ;
Her time is spent, the splendid Sunn is sett,
In whose bright Spirit all the Graces met;
What good so'ere in womankind was found,
In this good Woman richly did abound :

Each in her Soule was a most welcome guest.
Life wrought her Death, but Death to her brought Life,

CHRISTOPHER HARINGTON
At St. Martin, Coney Street, York.
Small half effigy, 8 1/2 " in height, inscription plate 15 1/2" x 3 1/2", and shield of arms 4" x 4", partly engraved on the inscription plate. The brass lies on the floor of the north aisle, and is now much worn and dented. It is certainly the work of a local engraver, and may possibly have been made in the goldsmith's own workshop. The figure shows a man with short curly hair, probably bearded, but this is effaced, wearing a ruff, doublet, and overgown with long false sleeves.

The inscription on his gravestone, which is now stored inside the church, states:
Here lies in horizontal position, The Outsize case of
GEORGE ROUTLEIGH, Watchmaker
Whose abilities in that line were an honour To his profession
Integrity was the mainspring, And prudence the regulator
Of all the actions of his life. Human, generous and liberal
His hand never stopped Till he had relieved distress.
So much regulated were his motions That he never went wrong
Except when set agoing By people Who did not know his key.
Even then he was easily Set right again.
He had the art of disposing his time So well
That his hours glided away In one continual round
Of pleasure and delight Till and unlucky minute put a period to
His existence. He departed this life
Nov 14 1802
Aged 57
Wound up In hopes of being taken in hand
By his Maker And of being thoroughly cleaned, repaired
And set-going In the world to come.
