He is shown in land tax records for 1860. In the census he is listed as living in Croyden and described as being an earthenware manufacturer. I wonder if he was making the wares that you have found LadZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17130302931280033469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6537350948151927223.post-47126828666488076672012-11-28T11:53:29.782+00:002012-11-28T11:53:29.782+00:00Dear Julia,

I'm a casual mudlarker, but have found a few nice things in the link below.

The ability of these small fragments to stimulate interest in our past has surprised me. The more I read about Georgian London, the more I wish I'd been around then, well almost. <br />Julia Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17561866816881655349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6537350948151927223.post-76848343916685390832012-10-24T08:16:59.963+01:002012-10-24T08:16:59.963+01:00Hello Julia...This evening I was researching weste...Hello Julia...This evening I was researching westerwald pottery and in the process came across your mudlarking blog. I was so fascinated that I read every post! I felt like I was there, poking around in the Thames mud, looking for treasures myself. The great photos and researched descriptions of your finds are like taking a quick course in the history of English and European pottery. <br /><br />Mostly, though, I am really glad to discover that walking on beaches and picking up bits and pieces of broken pottery and glass is not an entirely insane thing to do, and that there is actually a name for it...."mudlarking"! Every chance I get I beach-comb remote spots along the shores of Mobile Bay, in south Alabama. I've located the remains of several old pottery kilns that date from the early 1800's. There are piles of shards from thrown-clay jugs and pots strewn all along the water's edge. In the fragments I can see the creativity and sweat of the pottery workers, as well as their actual fingerprints, like you have observed. I imagine what it may have been like to live and work in that time and place, which makes me more aware and grateful for just being alive and having all the comforts and the luxuries of a modern life. Thank you for sharing your experiences and all the neat stuff you have learned! <br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404604889748311892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6537350948151927223.post-85967107833313838322012-10-20T13:55:54.156+01:002012-10-20T13:55:54.156+01:00Lovely.
