Title: Thomas Cogger Haymarket London

THOMAS COGGER

Can anyone assist me in trying to find out more about a cut glass manufacturer Thomas Cogger of 32 Haymarket 1807 - 1823 (known dates though may be earlier).
Any examples of his work are sought together with any possible information.

Hi Neilh

Yes all information correct except Thomas was listed as an engineer in the 1841 Census.
He changed his vocation in 1815 though continued his shop till 1823.
