In the 1851 census Thomas Weatherhead (47, cordwainer employing 6 men) and his wife Sophia (49) were living in the High Street, Hemel Hempstead, with children Thomas (17), William (15), John (14), Josiah (12), Mary A (10) and Sophia (8) His shop was between Collin's Yard and the Rose & Crown Inn run by Thomas Jeffery, and he is listed in trade directories as a boot and shoe maker. This must have been No 13 High Street, as Thomas was still there at the time of the 1871 census - although by 1878 Alfred Cromach was listed as trading at No. 13.
Anyone know what happened to him?
