Thanks Carling for your swift response.

Can you help us with the source of your information. Is it available on the web?

The above were off the top of my head but there are some useful sites. See British makers on this web site:

There are also a number of books you may wish to reference such as Jackson's Silver and Gold Marks of England, Scotland & Ireland and Maurice H. Ridgway and Philip T. Priestley, The Compendium of Chester Gold & Silver Marks 1570 to 1962.
