I am the 4th great grandson of a Joseph Haskins who lived in Bedford from about 1815 till his death in 1855. In addition to my ancestor William, Joseph and his wife Catherine had sons Robert (born 1813) and David (born 1819 - christened in Harpur Street Wesleyan Methodist Church).
I know there was a lace bobbin maker in the mid 19th century called Joseph Haskins who on his death in 1855 was succeeded by his sons Robert and David but I have no authority that identifies where in England their workshop was located. Also all the census and trade directories I have found give my Joseph Haskin’s trade as ‘Lapidary and bead making’ and Robert as ‘goldsmith, jeweller and mechanical dentist’. So were there two people called Joseph Haskins with similar trades - Or can I claim the lace bobbin maker as my ancestor? Does anyone know where the Haskin bobbin making family carried on their trade? Can anyone tell me where I can see an example of their work on display?
