Hi, I am new to this list and am researching the following names: Clark (most are brush makers/manufacturers) Tharp - in particular Dorothy Tharp (plush saddle cloth maker) and Elizabeth Tharp (Dressmaker). Elizabeth is married to David Clark (brush maker) David is son of Job Clark - as yet no info on him. Flavell Carter All are from the Walsall area. I would love to hear from anyone researching the same. Also, could anyone kindly tell me if The Independent Chapel in Bridge Street is still there? and if there is anywhere I can look at photos of Walsall Foreign area? Many thanks.

Jo You will find photographs of the Chapel in both its original (pre 1894) and later form (I think, although I couldn't find it just now) on http://www.aclickintime.co.uk/about.html as well as other photographs of old Walsall. Don't know if the Chapel is still there.
