Born 1735 son of John Bedell late citizen and Pavior
deceased Free by Patrimony on 30 April 1771 when a Goldsmith No.2 Pryean Square, Old Bailey. He appears as Benjamin Beaddle - Old Bailey spoonmaker in the Parliamentary
Report List. His Freedom papers were signed by Joseph Biddell,
Thomas Bedell and Henry Freeman, Goldsmiths.
Heal records Benjamin Beddall, Silversmith, Clerkenwell
(Insolvent)1766.
London Metropolitan Archives:
26 June 1766 Benjamin Beddall formerly of Clerkenwell Close, late of Bishops Court both in St.
James' Clerkenwell and County of Middlesex,
Silversmith, was committed for debt to Fleet prison. He appeared to be owed
rent of £7.3s by eleven people - he
was discharged 26 June 1769."The Fleet to wit Benjamin Beadell on the 26th day of June 1766 was committed to
court by the Sr. Edward Olive Knt. upon a Bonded in
Discharge of his bail ats William Wilkins for
£20 Case Oath £11.11..0d. John Eyles Warden ct."
As Benjamin Beddell
was about 35 when he gained his Freedom it is likely that he applied for
Freedom after he was discharged from debt perhaps to set up in business
again. There was obviously a family of Beddalls
trading during this period although the spelling differs! There appeared to
be no apprentices listed for him in the Pavoir’s
Records.
A Thomas Bidell,
born in 1722 son of Richard was free by Patrimony on 7 February 1759 of the
Goldsmiths' Company and the City of London.
Joseph Beddell son of Joseph of
the Parish of St. Lukes in the County of Middlesex,
Pavoir was apprenticed to James Padwick
citizen and Goldsmith on the 25 September 1751 and was made Free of the Goldsmiths' Company and City of London in July 1760.

“Upon Reading the humble
Petition of Thomas Bedell and the reply of Thomas Hallifax and John Kirkman,
Alderman, the Petitioner was duly bound apprentice to Charles Hatfield
Citizen and Goldsmith for seven years 12 November 1734 and upon his death in
March 1740 continued with his widow and Executrix till about 12 September
1741 when they parted by consent and his Mistress remitted the remainder of
his time. But he cannot gain his Freedom of this City by virtue of his
Service wanting two months to complete same. He therefore prayed to be
admitted by Redemption on a small fine.
It is ordered therefore that the said Thomas Biddell
be admitted to the Freedom of this City by Redemption in the Company of
Goldsmiths paying the sum of 13s.4d.”
John Biddle son of Thomas
Biddle of Windsor Court, Monkwell Street,
Goldsmith, citizen and Goldsmith was apprenticed to Jonathan Perkins in 1780.

freedom entered a mark as smallworker 6 November
1811 at 55 Drury Lane, second in

indenture is clearly marked at the bottom "Silverspoon
manufacturer"
Apprentices
29 June 1829 Henry James Cutmore son of John of Blackfriars
Road, Hardwareman
was bound to Thomas Cutmore (presumably his
brother).
In the Goldsmiths' Apprenticeship Register 3
June 1829 John Francis Green who was apprenticed to William Eley on 1
February 1826 was turned over to Thomas Cutmore of Lovells Court, Paternoster Row, silversmith, citizen and spectaclemaker t/o 22 June 1830 to ?? as Thomas Cutmore had changed his trade.
He entered a mark as
plateworker with John Cutmore on the 14 January 1829 at 3 Lovells Court
Paternoster Row, which was the address from 1825 of the spoonmaking firm of
the Eleys suggesting that the Cutmores were similarly occupied. This is born
out by an extract from J. Culme's Nineteenth Century Silver
"The last and most interesting of Collis's correspondents was
John Cutmore of 113 Bunhill Row, London
who wrote 'I was for fourteen years
superintendent of the extensive silver works of Messrs Bateman and
Ball, Bunhill
Row (successors to Hester Bateman's business) and who were the principal
manufacturers of Messrs. Rundell, Bridge & Co. and I previously held a similar situation for five years
with Mr. William Eley, Paternoster
Row".
As the apprenticeship of John
Francis Green shows they obviously only took over the business for a very short time.

years, left his employers of his own accord about 3 years ago and went into

Clockmakers’

Father Phillip Phillips was
made free of the Clockmakers Company and the City of London 15 February 1832
by Redemption of the Common Council.
On his Redemption paper was the following “Phillip Phillips of the
Jewish Nation was made free as his father Joseph Phillips, a Native of
Germany - who came to England about
seventy years since and married an English women - where the Petitioner was
born and has ever since resided”.
His only mark entered as a plateworker 28 August 1826 at 19 Crown St, Finsbury.
Moved to 15 Bury Street, St.Mary Axe 27 February
1835.
It seems likely he became free
of a City Livery Company to give his sons the chance to do the same. His son
David, born on 27 June 1813 was apprenticed to him on 2 July 1832, when he
was a watchmaker of No.l5 Bury St, St.
Mary Axe. David does not appear free of the Clockmakers Company but entered a
mark as a spoonmaker 21 March 1834 at
l5 Bury St, St. Mary Axe. Second 6 March 1835 Moved to 12 Wilson Street,
Finsbury 14 October 1836.Third 24 May 1839.
Phillip’s other three sons were also apprenticed to him as
follows: Joel (born 27 April l817) 2 July l832. Laurence (born l2 June l8l5)
2 July l832 and Lewis (born 7 May
l819) 7 October 1832. It would appear none of them became free of the
Clockmakers Company.

Innholders’
|
Son of Robert Turner of
Wolverhampton bucklemaker was made Free by
Redemption of the Innholder's Company and the City
of London on 7 October 1793.(written on the indenture looked like Dealer in
Coals). His address was 23 St. John Square, Clerkenwell,
Middlesex. 6 December 1796 he was summoned
for the Livery and was excused for l2 months. In fact he never appeared to be admitted to
the Livery and in all the apprenticeship entries he was referred to as a
Freeman, and not a Freeman and
Liveryman of the Company.
In view of his father's
profession it seems likely he is
the Richard Turner who entered a mark
as a bucklemaker 20 October 1783 at 15 St. John
Square, (but I could find no link to this address in the records). There was
certainly a company called Messrs. Turner & Co. working silversmiths Saint
John's Square, Clerkenwell in existence and it was
referred to as such when Benjamin Davis gained his Freedom there in December
1809. Richard Turner Silversmith 31
St. Johns Square appears in the Street
Directories for l802.
Apprentices:
5 June 1798 Robert Turner son
of Richard of St. John's Square, silversmith.

In a register of the Vintners’
Company it states that he was not to be invited as per order of the Court,
this may have been due to the entry in the records of the Goldsmiths' Company. 22
October 1812 George Wintle was committed for Forgery. "The Prime Warden
informed the committee that short time back a silver teaspoon, appearing
to have been hallmarked was brought to
the Hall to be examined on suspicion of
the marks having been forged- That the Warden had taken pains to
enquire into the circumstances and had had the spoons assayed in the
meantime, which were reported standard.
And that they had met with a Young Man who had formerly worked with Wintle from whom
they had received some useful
information. And then having
been decidedly of the opinion the marks had been forged. They had desired
the Solicitor of Stamps to attend
them, which he had done and they then had put the matter into his hands, as
the offence involved a Forgery of the
Duty marks. That it appeared on
talking to the Solicitor to the Stamps that they were at that very
moment investigating the conduct of
Wintle, but had not obtained any article with
the forged stamps on it, and were therefore glad to receive the spoon
in question from the Warden - That
the Solicitor to the Stamps had since obtained a Warrant against Wintle and
that he had been apprehended, and a great number of spoons and forks with
forged marks had been found in his
possession, and that he had been committed for trial at the next Old
Bailey Sessions". (Wintle was subsequently found not guilty.)
