vox Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Here's a start Thomas White, Silver chaser, 7, Burgess Street. (White's 1833) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vox Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Looking further Hetty, I think we could possibly be on the wrong track here The mark T.W was also used by a Thomas White of Birmingham and also by T Wilkinson & Sons also of Birmingham. Thomas White, Birmingham - 1873 (registered Nov 1866) Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vox Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I've just been reading on a couple of forums. It seems these firms and their marks have caused confusion before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jackiegear Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hi, I dont know when you asked about Thomas Whites silver. However I hope you get this message. He was my gt gt gt gr Grandfather and I have a photograph of him. I also have an old copy of the factory they had.His son had a manufacturers for fine silver William White born 1823, at Elcho factory in Sheffield. They also had a silver shop which Thomas daughter used to sell the silver at, on the high street in Sheffield. Thomas White was married to Mary Bush, he was born 1796 and Mary was born 1791!! They lived in Hanover Street, in Sheffield. He was born in Brassington Derbyshire. His son William was a silver manufacturer and produced many beautiful and carved items from teapots to pocket knives ( of which I own!) Thomas is part of a family rumour that we are related to the WHITES who used that alias when infact they were part of the Macgregor clan who were being chased in Scotland. We are supposed to be related to Rob Roy Macgregor and I have a photograph of William White, Thomas's son, in full kilt regalia, taken as a daguerro photograph in Glasgow, back in about 1850. I have many photographs of them including one of William White and Henderson and his wife who were in business together and had the trade make WW over JH as their silver mark. i WOULD be interested in buying your oil and vinegar set if you are ever thinking of selling it. Hope that helps. Best wishes JACKIE GEAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have photos of all of them including Thomas White. Old Daguerros. I would be interested in buying your vinegar set if you wish to sell it at any time. Can you tell me more about the mark.
