PRICE, Sarey (Grimwade p.633)

Post by buckler »

Probably a lady, - Sarah Price. Grimwade comments that the signature is a X ; it would be normal for a widow to be illiterate at this date.
From the incidence of her marks she may have been a bucklemaker, perhaps the widow of a lost smallworkers register man.

Believed to be the two Sarey Price marks. Both on buckles

Left is Grimwade 2614 (1763), Right is Griwade 2620 (1761)

Shooting in the dark, but I'm just adding the below detail just in case the below may identified as the husband of Sarey Price. Date, trade, name and address would all fit:

The person committed to Newgate last Saturday for manufacturing silver in a clandestine manner, etc., was one Andrew Price, formerly a Buckle-Maker near Bunhill-Row, and was only a journeyman to a Silversmith in Little Britain at the time he was taken up.
