Goldworkers List (Section VII).
He was born in Stratford, Essex around 1803.
Indentures were signed in 1817 by William Pawley the son of Valentine Pawley a basket maker of Stratford, Essex to be the apprentice of John Christopher Arnell, jeweller of Paul’s Alley, Cripplegate at a premium of £29.
He entered a maker’s mark at Goldsmiths Hall in 1826 as a goldworker at 10 Short Buildings, Clerkenwell and in 1827 reported he had moved to 3 St James Walk.
He married Caroline Willis at Christ Church, London in 1827; both were of that parish.
A christening record for a daughter in 1828 at St James, Clerkenwell confirms the St James Walk address where he was a jeweller.
He reported to Goldsmiths Hall in 1829 that he had moved to 11 St James Walk.
Three further christening records for their children 1829-33 at the same church show him continuing in the same trade at this address.
In 1834 he reported to Goldsmiths Hall a change of address to 22 Red Lion Street, Clerkenwell.
A christening record for their son in 1835 at the same church as previously confirms the change of address; he is still shown in the jewellery trade.
The 1841 UK Census recorded him in “manufacturing” at Red Lion Street.
The 1851 Census record for him has yet to be found.
By 1861 he had moved to 3 Bruce Terrace, Northumberland Park and was a house proprietor.
The National Probate Calendar for the Principal Registry records he died on 27th January 1871, formerly of Red Lion Street, afterwards from 5 Dalston Terrace East and late of 120 Graham Road, both latter addresses in Dalston. The value of his estate was under £6000.
