Hi Everyone In the 1901 Census, Civil Parish of St. Clement, Ecclesiastical Parish of St. Barthlomew.living in 59 Tomline Rd., my Grandfather Charles Henry Vesey's brother Fred is seen working as a Coachbuilder's Clerk in the Carriage Motor Building Trade. By 1911 he was joined by my grandfather I presume in that same business, hired also as clerk. It seems they left their jobs in the printing business to work at this carriage (automotive?) business. Was there any one business in Ipswich that might be that early company? I'd love to know a name and a little history. Thanks for any help you can give Linda B.C. Canada

Hi Linda, Will check 'Early Country Motoring, cars and motorcycles in Suffolk 1896-1940' tomorrow for you, it has information on various motor companies in Ipswich.
