Note: Thomas & Jabez Daniell were a father and son partnership, registered at Carey Lane in the city near St. Paul's Cathedral, but they only worked together for a few years.
The father, Jabez Daniell, was born 1725 in Surrey. It is recorded that his son was born 1750 and was one of three. Their partnership at the beginning of the 1770s merely lasted less than ten years, whereafter Thomas continued on his own following his father's death in 1777.
