- Dear Johan and Judy,
Sorry for the delay in replying. Please find attached a scan of two pages from the new Chelsom lighting catalogue covering the story relating to John Parker Maw. Chelsom are one of the UK's leading restorers of antique lighting and as you will see from the story we have restored the main chandelier from St Johns Cathedral, Antigua. During restoration we found inside the note handwritten by John Parker Maw on February 27th 1886 when he cleaned the chandelier. He arrived in Antigua April 26th 1883 presumably from his place of birth Thornton le Dale near Pickering Yorkshire England. We think you have his date of birth and he appears on two censuses for that town. I believe he left Antigua shortly after this time and appears on a census in New York. Also attached is a copy email from the Project Manager in Antigua with some information about the firm who John Parker Maw was working for.
The original note handwritten by him has been restored and framed and will go back to the cathedral with the chandelier. There is some delay on finishing the restoration of the building itself so we are holding the chandelier here in the UK until it is ready.
Not much more we can tell you but it is fascinating that a small folded piece of paper has come to light after 130 years and relates to someone in the family. If we can help any further let us know and we would love to hear any feedback if you discover any relations.
Thanks and best wishes
Robert
