Thomas Cory

Thomas Cory, London and Warminster silversmith, apprenticed to Edward Wade for 9 years in 1646. The binding did not proceed and Thomas was apprenticed to Thomas Herbert for 8 years in 1648, free 1655. Cory had “migrated” to Warminster by 1663 and in 1675-76 was a Churchwarden at Warminster, however it seems that he maintained business premises in London, at least during the later part of his career. Cory bound 10 apprentices between 1656 and 1684, one of whom was John Elderton and it seems that Elderton ran the business in Warminster when Thomas Cory returned to London about 1670. When Cory died in 1689 his son John, free by patrimony in 1687, Livery 1690, continued to run the family business successfully.
