I would like to find out some more about this man, he was a draper in Islington, and for some reason he and his brother were left money from Grace Hendy Lugg in her will - and no other family members. He actually dies before he inherited as I have found a newspaper article with them both in it. He then leaves his money to a farmer (gorge surname - not sure who he is) and a Hotel owner.
those with Ancestry can see him here:
in 1881 hahes is a draper and hosier in 118 Upper Street, Islington with his sister and cousin working for him, 1891 with just his sister. In 1901 says he is still an employer but has moved to Lambeth - I assume he still has business, but now got a property away from the business ready for his retirement.
all a long way from Cornwall and the farming that he grew up with.
I fell that there should be some news about the business somewhere.
He is in some trade journals as a glover, hosier and fancy draper. Just found 1885 PO directory where he only has 118 and 116 is a hosier Yates & sons, then in later directories he lists both properties
He isn't helping me by having a surname that is a popular first name!
Maybe I have all there is to know about him.
