William Grundy

London 

The Silversmith William Grundy was apprenticed to Edward Vincent and obtained his freedom in 1739.

His first mark as a large plate worker was entered in 1743, when he registered with an address in Fetter lane.

In 1748 and 1754 he registered a second and third mark, having become a Liveryman of the Goldsmith's company.

He also appears in the parliament report list of 1773, where he is described a a plate worker.

In 1779 he entered a partnership with Edward Fernell. He probably died before 1780 as in that year his business partner registers a mark of his own.
