Edward Treen
Edward Treen, London silversmith, apprenticed to Thomas Burton 1619, free 1626. Edward bound 3 apprentices prior to the outbreak of the Civil Wars in 1642 after which his movements became unclear. In 1653 he bound the first of six more apprentices, the others in 1655, 1656, 1663, 1666 and 1669. In 1665 he was elected as Almsman and seems to have carried out these duties in conjunction with his activities as silversmith. Even so there seem to be no surviving examples of his work after 1663.
