Parke, Reuben (1710-20)

Parke, Reuben, London, upholder (1710–20). At Arundel St, Strand, 1710–17, and in both 1710 and 1717 this property was insured for £1,000. In January 1717 moved to Richbald Ct, Red Lion Sq. next to ‘The Hoop & Flask Tavern’, and in December 1718 moved once again to Hind Ct, Fleet St. The reason for this last move appears to have been the termination of his trading activities as an upholder.
