Subject: Balkwills of Plymouth: I have letter and portrait..

I was interested to read your message concerning the Balkwills of Plymouth, and the existance of a Balkwill pharmacy in Plymouth.

I have been trying to research into the Balkwills, as I own a sillouette of Sarah Balkwill, (daughter of Joseph Balkwill and Anne Payne) dated 1825 which also contains a love letter written by John Richardson, her husband on the event of their second wedding anniversary, dated 1827.

I came across the 1851 census and found that Sarah was visiting her younger brother, Charles (age 43), a "chemist and druggist", address, Norley Cottage, Norley Place, Plymouth. The brother was unmarried and living with one servant. I hope this may be of some help.

Would like to exchange information on three generations of Balkwill Chemists in the Plymouth Devon England area for a copy (Photo)of sillouette of Sarah Balkwill and copy of John Richardson's letter dated 1827.
