History  
 

Can you help us?


We are always looking for further information about the firm's history and about the people who ran it.

If you have any information please contact Gary Phillips.

We would be particularly interested in the following:-

  • Any information on Jephtha Foster. Was he from Lincoln? What was his background? With whom did he train? Where in Lincoln did he practice before 1768?
  • We would be interested in hearing from any descendants of Jephtha Foster.
  • Any information on the Nowill and Kippax families, cutlers and ironmongers of Sheffield.
  • Any information on the Bromehead family in Southwold, Suffolk; Eckington, Derbyshire; and Spilsby, Lincolnshire and Lincoln.
  • We would be interested to hear from any descendants of John May Bromehead. We have an extensive family tree of the Bromeheads covering all of the 19th and part of the 18th century.
  • Any information on the Kime family of Kimes' International Law Directory
  • Any information on the Hebb and Sills families.
  • Any recollections, especially pre-war, of G R Sills
