<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 299839, member: 50&quot;]I&#039;m wondering if that listing is using this somewhat vague reference as dating. The reference is good but this particular mark is vague. &quot;If&quot; when the partnership was dissolved in 1899 and &quot;IF&quot; Frederick continued on using Lancasters without other names (not mentioned)&nbsp; possibly it dates sometime after 1899 and until 1906 when the mark was amended to add &amp; Sons.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s pretty vague<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /> There is a bit more info in the link other than what I copied below.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.thepotteries.org/allpotters/642.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.thepotteries.org/allpotters/642.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.thepotteries.org/allpotters/642.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Manufacture of <a href="http://www.thepotteries.org/types/earthenware.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.thepotteries.org/types/earthenware.htm" rel="nofollow">earthenware</a> at the <a href="http://www.thepotteries.org/works/hanley/dresden.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.thepotteries.org/works/hanley/dresden.htm" rel="nofollow">Dresden works</a>, Tinkersclough, in <a href="http://www.thepotteries.org/six_towns/hanley.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.thepotteries.org/six_towns/hanley.htm" rel="nofollow">Hanley</a>, <a href="http://www.thepotteries.org/sot/five.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.thepotteries.org/sot/five.htm" rel="nofollow">Stoke-on-Trent</a>.</p><p><br /></p><ul> <li>Formerly Lancaster &amp; Barker - the partners were Frederick John Lancaster, Emily Lancaster and Edward John Barker.<br /> <br /> </li> <li>When the partnership of Lancaster &amp; Barker was dissolved in July 1899 the business was continued by Frederick John Lancaster.<br /> <br /> </li> <li>&#039;&amp; Sons&#039; was added to the company mark in 1906.<br /> <br /> </li> <li>At some time was renamed to Lancaster &amp; Sons (Hanley) Ltd. <br /> <br /> </li> <li>Later the partners were Edwin Lancaster and Mr T H Sandland as a co-director. &quot;</li> </ul><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
