Notes: Randle was William Robb's son in law and after his death took over the running of the successful Braemar branch. Randle was however not a maker and is considered a retailer of the Robb work and continued the tradition for many years later. As a retailer rather than maker items bearing Randle's makers mark are rare and to date only a few are known.
