FRANK John
See the Potteries section for the Redcliff Back Pottery 1.
He took over the Redcliff Back Pottery 1 from James Margerum. However, ‘John Franks’ may be a mistake for Thomas Frank I, as the latter was exporting earthenware from at least 1705.
| c1707-08 | ‘John Franks’ probably ran the Redcliff Back Pottery 1. |
By 1709 Thomas Frank I was paying rates on the Pottery.
| 1707 | ‘John Franks p. pothouse’ (SMR-PR). |
| 1707-08 | ‘John Franks pr. Potthouse’ (SMR-L). |
