1 gen 1698 anni - ironmonger

Descrizione:

: The occupation is on record in York from the late thirteenth century: 1298 <i>Johannes de Wistow, irenmangor</i> (SS96/7); 1402 <i>Robert Driffeld, irenmanger </i>(YRS6/54) and it refers there almost certainly to a dealer in iron wares. Other ironmongers operated in more rural areas where there were numerous smithies: 1434 John Tomson of Ossett,<i> irnemanger</i> (WCR15/62); 1511 Robert Marsche of Bargh, <i>yrynmangger</i> (YRS76/134) and these men may actually have worked more closely with the forgemen. For example, the John Tomson of Ossett mentioned above was described as <i>irenmaker</i> when he died in 1436 (YRS6/167). In Sheffield, Nicholas Doughtyman was an <i>iremonger</i> in 1586 (YRS22/38) and others who shared that occupation include: 1623 Richard Shemeld of Sheffield, <i>ironmonger</i> (TWH14/63) and 1654 <i>Richard Ibbotson of Sheffeld ironmonger</i> (PR3/193). Between 1698 and 1704 seven men were named as ironmongers in the Sheffield parish register. The term appears to have been interchangeable at times with ‘hardwareman’ or ‘chapman’ (FBH175), although the evidence suggests that the ironmongers operated from shop premises and did not spend time travelling around the country.
