Jerry FreedmanPer the Loomes book: John Barrett was woring in Pembroke 1830-48. John & Son at Pembroke Dock 1844. Also shown is Henry at Pembroke Dock 1850-68. William Henry at Pembroke Dock, 1875. All in all, it lookes like the Barretts were quite a horological family.

Jerry FreedmanForgot to mention, but the hallmark looks like 1854? A better picture would help.
