John Clark

C19th son of John, woolstapler. Married twice, second wife was Eleanor Lamb, [1812-]daughter of William, shoemaker. Married on 4th June 1838. [21+/21+; widower/spinster/ wit James Lamb, Mary Brazington]

John Coates

C18th trading in the mid eighteenth century. According to Elizabeth Janson's webpages a John Cotes christened three children. There was a settlement certificate for John Coates, who appears to have been returned to Chedworth. Vol. 51 of the Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society Bulletin lists him as a Watchmaker before 1759, and cites an advertisement for a lost watch, and references in the Gloucestershire Journal between 25 September 1759 to 10 October 1783.
"Although there were at one time four distinct clockmakers operating in Tetbury, notably John Coates whose workshop reached its zenith around 1750, and from which period some very distinctive longcase clocks survive, when I came to buy one it was not a locally made piece." part of report from 10/13/2005 Guardian Unlimited

Cyrus Crew

C19th was also a jeweller. He had premises on Market Place from 1839 and Silver Street from 1849. He was trading between 1830-1859 when he died. A trade directory for 1850 lists him on Union Hill. Two of his works are pictured right.

C19th is probably the brother of Cyrus. His premises were in Silver Street and he was in business in-between 1860-1874.

DANIELS, Alfred C19th trading between 1835 - 1888.

C19th In a trade directory for 1840 he is listed as "Watchmaker & primitive methodist local preacher". In 1881 a William Mapson aged 41 is living in Kensington, London with wife and children, and is a watchmaker and local preacher - is this a son of William snr? A clock hanging in the Gospel Hall Chapel on Hampton Street was made by him. This was removed
in the 1980s when it was replaced by a more modern clock. In 1860 he had premises on Long Street.

John Pitt

C19th was in charge of maintaining the Market House Clock between 1816 until 1852. He earned the annual sum of £2 2s for this job. In 1850 his premises were in Market Place. He was born in Brokenborough in 1776 and probably died in 1859. His wife, Sarah was born in Devon, and in 1861 she was still living on Market Place. At one time he had an apprentice, James Melluish, who he took on in 1813 for a seven year term, but this was terminated after about three years for a sum of £15

 Albert William Sattely

C20th born 1895, son of George. He worked with his father and continued the business after his fathers death in 1921. George was the son of Zechariah from Sherston Magna, WIL. In 1914 he was in Market Place. He also maintained the Market House Clock - his apprentice had to wind it by hand.

1821-1861 He married Bridget [1825-1895], from CON, and they had at least two children, Maria & Richard H. His father was William. In both 1851 & 1861 his occupation is listed on the census as watchmaker. As no premises are listed in any directories I presume he was in the employ of another.
