here are some siblings all with parents William and Ann, the boys all became ornamental weavers. That will keep you busy for a while !

Well it certainly look like you have some interesting research to do.If you can prove William Hand was connected to the Huguenots and lacemaking.
Have fun.

thank you so much lindsey your absolutley brill,
your a great help as ive got no family around me to ask questions you've helped me alot and given me alot to look into thank you so much xx

i just wonder ??? this is a company called Hand and Lock makers of fine embroidery since 1767

http://www.handembroidery.com/

Could you be related?

Hand & Lock is an embroidery company that is a fusion of two, great, long established, embroidery businesses.

In 1767 Gold lace men called Hand, originally Huguenot refugees from Flanders, added embroidery to their range of laces, cords, and braids. Their skills came from the entourage of Catherine de Medicis, when she married into the French court in the 16th century. They learnt the ancient Italian secrets of gold lace and made them their own.

Looks like they give tours of the original workshop.

this might just be his parents
