I have found the websites of the Merchant Taylors' Company of London and also found information on the Merchant Taylors' of York.
Can anyone advise me whether there was a Merchant Taylors' Company of Manchester. It would seem strange if there wasn't at least a chapter of this guild in Manchester given the importance of the city in the production of wool, cotton and silk cloth.
I have two ancestors called Thomas Taylor who operated as Master Tailors in Manchester from 1790-1880. I would be most interested to gather more information on them and their business.
Thanks
