Footnote
Note: George Fenwick II was apprenticed to his father George Fenwick I who had been a successful Edinburgh silversmith most noticeably in partnership with George McHattie (as McHattie & Fenwick from around 1800).
George Fenwick II moved to Tobago in September 1821 but his time there was sadly short as he died only a few months later. He appears to have taken with him old stock from his father and additionally stamped them for his new market in Tobago. A number of which interestingly have found their way back to Scotland
