Hi, My ancestor George Mynett was a Baker & Malster in Stroud 1700s, so this has been interesting for me. I've also tried to find where he would have worked without success. Meeting Street is the most likely place he would have lived. It seemed to be a street of businesses, going by later members of the family who operated from there. I'm off to check out the links in the previous e-mails. Nancy Australia > > Yes, British-history.ac.uk/ reports that there were 8 malthouses in the > parish of Stroud in 1822.

Hi Nancy Good to hear from you. Apparently making malt was a seasonal job - mainly from October to May. which may explain why your ancestor was also a baker. I'll let you know if I find out any more about malt-houses in Stroud!
