Harper, and Eliza (often switched between Eliza and Elizabeth on census
records) is quite a common name in those times. I think I would likely

Hi Debbie, when I began learning to make lace 4 years ago I had no interest
in the history of lacemaking at all, just wanted to learn about the stitches
and get on with making lace. What a difference 4 years can make:-) I
really enjoyed reading this email and as my husband and I have recently
Many thanks to all you wonderful spiders who have sent me information about
the old Bucks postcard, greatly appreciated.
I have e.mailed Lori to let her know that I will send a picture of the card

than anticipated.

hello,
can somebody tell me from what time a lacemakers lamp (in Dutch : ordinaal),
has been used ? Are there old paintings (16th or 17th century) with lacemakers
using an ordinaal ?

I looked in Thomas Wright's book, Romance of the Lace Pillow and
noticed that he acknowledges help received from a Mrs. Dowdy of North
Crawley...probably one of the lacemakers (Isabella Dowdy) in the photo?
He doesn't specify how she helped him, but is listed in a long
alphabetical list of people

Hi,
Admittedly, it's not being used as a lacemakers lamp, but I've seen
pictures of Robert Hooke's microscope set-up with the same idea of a
candle and a bowl of water to focus the light in lectures. His major
publication on microscopy was in 1665 and, as far as I can tell, the
picture here

It makes for an interesting comparison, Lori - not with the Bucks list,
but with the printout I have of my husband's family
Oh do I have news!
I am giving one of the conference talks at the IOLI. It'll be on the
evidence for lace making in New-France. Lots of preparation and many, many
photos and illustrations. Its a progress report on a larger project I'm
doing researching lace making in early Canada using historical

Dear Friends,
I have my own copy of the 1851 census for the Isle of Wight, Hampshire and
there are hundreds of lace-makers listed there, many of whom are men.
Unfortunately, I think you'll find that they were all making machine -made
lace.
