the first son of Francis-Gabriel Barraud was named after his grandfathers Paul Crespin and Philip Barraud and was born on 5th December, 1752 at Great St. Andrews Street in 7-dials, and he married Harriet Chapman the daughter of an English family. He set up home in the Kennington Lane area of Lambeth, south of the Thames where Harriet’s family lived. Paul Philip and Harriet Chapman had 7 children, all baptised at St. Mary’s Church in Lambeth. These were William Francis, Frederick Joseph, John, James, Elizabeth, Martin Logan and finally, Harriet. He took premises at 86, Cornhill in 1796 and that was described as “the second shop from the Royal Exchange” and, in 1808 he then bought the lease of No: 85 Cornhill, next door, where he is described as a clockmaker, and finally at No: 41 Cornhill (see below) and it may well be that he lived there, but continued to pay rent on the premises in Lambeth. The premises at 85 Cornhill had a cellar, a ground floor, shop, back parlour and four further floors above. He also paid rent on premises in Coleman Street, London in 1800. Certainly, also he bought Park Hill House in Stanmore Road, East Croydon in 1814 and he also paid ground rent for this house in Croydon from 1816 to 1820 and it is at this address in Croydon that he died on the 26th August, 1820. Both Enid Barraud and Cedric Jagger were frustrated that they were unable to find the final resting place of Paul Philip Barraud, whether it was in Croydon where he died, in Lambeth with his wife Harriet, or even in the City of London. I have since however located a record from the IGI and also the burial record which suggests his burial was in fact in Croydon (see below). Paul Philip is by far the most reputable Barraud clock, watch and chronometer maker of his time, and many books have been written about him over the years. Paul Philip Barraud is recorded as becoming a Liveryman of the Clockmakers Company in 1796, admitted to Freedom of the City of London and the Clockmakers Company, Court of Assistants 1806, Junior Warden 1807, Renter Warden 1808, Senior Warden 1809, Master of Clockmakers Company 1810 and again appointed master in 1811. He is listed as a fine watch and chronometer maker who worked in partnership with W. Howells and G. Jamisen for making Mudge’s timekeepers. He had two sons that followed in his profession; Frederick Joseph (worked 1806-25) and John (worked from 1811), and with whom he formed a Company partnership in 1811 which lasted until his death in 1820. It is estimated that in the years between 1796 and 1820, about 10,000 watches and 1000 chronometers and clocks were made bearing the Barraud name. The firm was continued by his son taking John Richard Lund into partnership in 1838 and the business was finally wound up in 1925. The Company of Barraud & Lund were one of the first in London to have a telephone and the directory of 1881 has the entry of the Company as “Chronometer makers” and they were the only ones to have that entry in London.
