Chester Brothers
The Chester brothers can be traced to George Chester (c.1802-1854) – a horn and ivory cutter – and his wife Mary (c.1801-1855). They had seven sons: William (1828-1864), John (1831-1905), Henry (1832-1907), Charles Richard (1835-1903), Thomas (c.1837-1864), Joseph Beech (1839-1904), and Edmund (c.1841-1869). The father was listed in Coalpit Lane by 1833, but by the 1840s was in Pool Square, Fargate. By the 1850s, Chester’s workshops were in Holly Street and Trippet Lane Horn Works.&n....
