[01-1368] I have a ladle marked 925 and stamped Chas W. Kennard & Co. Does anyone know whether this was before or after Bigelow and Kennard? thanks IP: Logged |

Hard to say -- Charles W. Kennard was not one of the members (William H. and Martin)of Bigelow Brothers & Kennard or Bigelow, Kennard & Company. The only off-shoot of the family was Edward Kennard (son of Martin) who went into the wholesale silver business with Lewis Jenks in 1876. Their company, Kennard & Jenks was bought out by Gorham in 1880. There is no likely Charles Kennard listed in the 1880 census that I can find. IP: Logged |

There was a C.W.Kennard listed in Boston from 1825-1855; C.W.Kennard & Co. is listed (as a clock and watchmaker)from 1835-1875. IP: Logged |

Hmmm. More research needed. I wonder how he connects (if he does) to the others? There are no Charles that I have found among the various brothers and cousins, but who knows? IP: Logged |

There were also Kennards in New Hampshire: John (1782-1861, Newfields by 1812, clockmaker) and Oliver P. (1831, Portsmouth, name found on silver). IP: Logged |

I did not know of John, but Oliver Parry Kennard (1786-1870) was the father of William and Martin and was in Portsmouth by 1817 when he married Jane Plaisted there. IP: Logged |

Here's a photo of the mark in case I misread the first name. The clock and watch maker mentioned above is the most likely. IP: Logged |

I agree with vathek that the 1835-1875 watchmaker is the most likely retailer. That 925 mark shows up in conjunction with various, mostly Boston region retailers on many 1860s pieces of flatware. IP: Logged |

I also have some forks marked with Charles Kennard's mark. I once saw a reference to St. Louis for him, but have no means of checking that out. I would also like to know more! IP: Logged |
