Carrington, Richard (1790-1793)
Carrington, Richard
High Street, Colchester, Essex; cabinet maker and upholsterer (fl. 1790–93)
May well be the Richard Carrington who is recorded as residing in London in the 1784 Colchester poll book and declared his trade as upholder.
May well have returned from London in 1790 when he purchased insurance cover for £500 on property in the High Street described as a ‘new house, shops & ware room’ [The London Archive (TLA) Sun MS 1790, ref. 572493].
