Hi List, I am after information on the Bridgwater Ironworks, that operated in Bridgwater in the 1760's. As far as I can tell it was in the possession of Thomas Bayley, then it went Bayley & Street, then Bayley, Street & co. then Street and Pyke. Street is the part I am most interested in. Robert Street, born abt 1710. (going by his age at death) and Susanna Street had 10 children born in Bridgwater between 1746 and 1763. Robert died in 1785, in Bridgwater age 77 years. The childrens names are: Susannah, Sarah,Frances,Robert, John, Fanny, Mary, Charles, William, James. There is no trace of the children in Bridgwater either. I am sure I found John, William, Sarah and Fanny in Middlesex in the 1770's. I dont think Robert or Susannah were originally from Bridgwater. As I couldnt find anything else relating to them on the Bridgwater freereg online. There is a possible marriage on free reg. for Robert Street and a Susanna Chubb in Chilton Trinity in 1740. But there is no children born there. So there is a gap of 6 years before the first child Susanna is born in 1746 in Bridgwater. I would love to find information on how Robert became a brazier and who he was apprenticed too. Any suggestion on where I should look? I would also be interested in anything to do with the Foundry that they ran in Bridgwater and also any of the names mentioned. I have emailled the Bridgwater Museum, and are still awaiting a reply. Thanking you. Karen in Australia
