Josiah & George Piercy registered a mark together on 4^th January 1812 as spoon-makers. Josiah was George’s father. George registered another mark alone on 16^th December 1819 and Josiah on 1^st January 1828. They were therefore certainly together at least between 1812 and 1819. They may well have worked together until 1828, when Josiah registered his own mark. Tongs by these makers are rare.
