The father of Thomas Chambers of the Thorncliffe ironworks is given in the baptism record.
Thomas was baptised 21st Feb 1745 at Rawmarsh son of John. He was born on the 17th Jan
1745. Appartently John had settled in the Rawmarsh area earlier in the century. Thomas
spent his early years in Bradgate according to one of his grandchildren.
I got these snippets of information from a book "Chapeltown Researches" written
by Matthew Henry Habershon in 1893 as a centenary history of the founding of the works. It
is available online.
