Leatherworkers in Walsall in 1801
The list below has been compiled by Leather Museum staff from censuses of the Borough and Foreign of Walsall taken in 1801, and now preserved at the Walsall Local History Centre. Please note that boot and shoemakers and repairers have been excluded from this list, as have the various makers of metal items connected with the saddlery and harness trades (often termed "saddler's ironmongery"). It should also be noted that the original documents only record the names and occupations of "heads of households", and do not list other family members, even if of working age. The total number of leatherworkers recorded here is therefore likely to be a considerable understatement of the true figure.
