James Parlett Saddleton was married in 1798. He is recorded as working in Kings Lynn 1801-1845.
Thomas Lowther was a case maker working in Red Lion Street Clerkenwell, London circa 1820-1832. His stamp is a distinctive mark and can be seen on other longcase regulators including a fine mahogany example by Frodsham which sold anonymously, Christie's London, 5 July 2005, lot 75 (£20,400).
