    1. [WLS-PEMBROKESHIRE] Re: Wathen family

    3. Hi Rosalie, Not Pembs material, but prob. relevant to your family research. I found the article that mentions Sir Charles Wathen in Bristol but as it contains graphics and my server is having undersea cable problems I can't send it. The firm is Bristol Uniforms which is in Wathen Street, Staple Hill (phone no.79563101). Founded in 1801 it used to be Gardiners Clothing Co., then Wathen Gardiner, & the same family still owns, it but its now the HILL branch. Sir Charles part owned it for 25 years & had a ceremonial glove that he wore in 1895 that was presented to the Lord Mayor in a visit to the factory in June 1996. That's the jist of the article.Hope it helps. Cheerio, Peggy.
