| Description | Anthony Des Granges, a 64 year old man, requests to be admitted to the Hospital. His father was Peter Des Granges and his grandfather, also called Peter, was originally from Poitou. Anthony is a clockmaker, specifically a wheel and glinder maker, but due to technological improvements his work is nearly redundant. Furthermore, he suffers from poor eyesight and tremors in his hands that make his work unsatisfactory. The petition is signed by J Mudry, Minister of the French Church; John Taylor, Elder; Charles Sterky, Elder and Peter Des Granges, Elder.
Overleaf, the petitioner states that he was born on 31 May 1776. |
