Williams, M., Bodmin and Truro, Cornwall, u and cm (1804–10). In January 1804 he announced his move from Bodmin to premises in Lemon St, Truro. Here he stocked ‘tables & chairs of all descriptions, Drawers, Pier & other looking glasses, beds, bedding, mattresses, paper hanging etc.’. He offered to hang bells and to take old items in part-exchange. An app. was advertised for and it was indicated that a premium would be expected. By March 1810 Williams had decided to give up the trade and offered his stock at reduced prices for ready money. He also offered to lease his shop and dwelling house for a term of fourteen years. This property was in Lemon St near the back entrance of the New Market place. That stock not already disposed of was advertised for sale by auction in May. On offer were ‘several setts of Mahogany chairs, a handsome Pier looking glass, Box & Swing ditto, a large Easy chair, a large Glass Case, also a writing desk & several articles of kitchen furniture’.
