Thank you,
Yes..that is the right line.
Yes I have a suspicion that I have a photo of Samuel and his family .
Many of the men have a badge on their lapel...is this linked to a place of work or union?
Thank you

Hi Lisa,
Ironmongers did have a Guild which did have a Crest and possibly more local Crests. Hope this link works, if it doesn't, just Google The Worshipful Company of Ironmongers and check out the Archives and the Wikipedia articles. https://www.ironmongers.org/archives
I seem to recall seeing somewhere..?? a Samuel linked with the store but he was born in the early 1900's (after the Samuel B:1870) maybe he is the connection you need.
