Oats, Joseph

187 Drury Lane, London; cabinet maker and undertaker (fl.1817–45)

Freeman of Canterbury. In 1817 trading as Oats & Son but by 1820 under his own name only, suggesting that in 1817 he was in partnership with his father, who was probably Richard Oats. In 1823 was taking out insurance of £700 of which £500 was for utensils and stock. Listed in the 1845 London Post Office Directory at the same address.
