William Ince Cabinet Maker

Advanced notice that the new edition of William Ince Cabinet Maker is nearing completion.  The manuscript is finished and I am just waiting for a few copyright permissions for images.  All going well there will be an official book launch in a couple of months and I hope to be able to make some preview copies available at a special discount price for anyone willing to write a review. 

This book will be about twice the size of the original with a greater emphasis on celebrating the work of William Ince.  It will also include new information on his father and sisters in Worcestershire, his wife’s family in London and his son Frederick’s remarkable adventure in America taken from the letters he wrote to his family back in England between 1824 and 1836.  There will be a chapter on John Mayhew and his family, including new research on John’s baptism and his siblings, and information about his children and grandchildren, including royal dentists and the State Trials for High Treason.   There will also be information on some of William’s more notable descendants, including the colourful actress Annette Ince, who played Juliet to John Wilkes Booth’s Romeo and the artists Joseph Murray Ince, Charles Percy Ince and Charlotte Grace Cowell.

I will keep you posted.
