It would be great if somebody could help this person:

quote:
Family history shows that I had ancestors who were involved in Fishing Tackle Manufacture especially Artificial Fly Making.
It is recorded that   they even were the originators of one or two.

Names were Macey and again Rainsford (believed to be from Ireland)

Resident in Wiltshire/ London and Aylesbury at various times.

Am looking for documentary proof of all that, are you able to point me in the right direction?

Try the irish roots website [no idea of the URL]they are probably the best start for you.
I also have a complete set of CD's of the 1891 census of GB perhaps you could use these if you know dates and places?

I had a chat with the father-in-law who is related to Rainsfords in Limerick,
He said that there were a number of them keen fishermen (not to sure about the involvment in the making of Fishing Tackle) but that he would require names and/or dates to be sure if they were the same famly.
I will go back to him if you have any more information....
