BELL, Joseph III (Grimwade p.437)
Posted: Thu Dec 20, 2012 5:35 am
Indentures were signed in 1808 by Joseph, the son of George Bell a soap maker of Salisbury Court, to be the apprentice of George Wintle of the Vintners Company. George Wintle of the Vintners Company is recorded on page 707 of Grimwade’s book as a spoon maker.
Joseph Bell, previously George Wintle’s apprentice, was made free in 1818 in the same year in which the spoon maker Joseph Bell entered a mark at Goldsmiths Hall from Little Duke Street, Borough and the indentures are therefore probably relevant here.
Christening records at St George the Martyr from 1816-1825 for five children of Joseph and Mary Bell show their address as Little Duke Street and their father as a silversmith.
Another son was christened at St Leonard, Shoreditch in 1831 and the record shows his father as a silversmith from Webb Square.
No further information has been found for the family.
