Hi Listers, I have found a James Laport being insured in Drury Lane in 1781 as says occupation “Gent” then I also found a John Laport being made apprentice and mentions his father James Laport deceased but being a button maker. Could it be the same person ? Would you call a buttonmaker a gent ? thanks, Maureen in Oz.

Wow, If you are sure he lived in Drury Lane then that is a tick………… > On 16 Nov 2019, at 4:51 pm, Maureen Farrer <maureenfarrer71@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Listers, > > I have found a James Laport being insured in Drury Lane in 1781 as says occupation “Gent” > then I also found a John Laport being made apprentice and mentions his father James Laport > deceased but being a button maker.
