ROMER, John (Grimwade p.646)

[silverly]

19 January 1765 Frederick Hershall of Saint Martin Westminster silver chaser paid apprentice indenture duty for John Romer. I do not know what this gentleman's connection may have been to the John Christopher Romer who is in the appendix of Grmwade's London Goldsmiths but of course suspect there is one.

[dognose]

Perhaps no connection, but worth recording as the name is slightly unusual, a Thomas Romer was recorded as a Jeweller & Goldsmith of 20, George Street, Adelphi. He shares his premises with William Lane, a Tailor & Draper. Perhaps also worth noting because of a similar name is Henry Rymer, also a Jeweller & Goldsmith, working at 6, George Street, Adelphi.
