Footnotes:
A Caleb Sillwood was married in Fleet, London in April 1725. Interestingly, another Caleb Sellwood (note the 'e') was a Welsh clockmaker described as 'Sellwood the mechanic', when he made the Haverfordwest church clock in 1709, potentially, the two are the same man. See Loomes, B. (2014) Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700. Mayfield: Mayfield Books.
