George and Thomas Seddon held the Royal Warrant from 1832; from 1829-40, they were working at Brighton Pavilion, Belvedere, St. James's Palace, Royal Lodge (Windsor), Kew Palace and Cumberland Lodge.
William Norton Drakeford (1842-1914), was from a family of cabinet-makers, who came from Warwickshire, but were based in the parish of St. Pancras. In the 1861 census, while still living in the family home at 22 College Place, he and his brothers, Robert and James, were described respectively as 'upholder' (upholsterer), 'cabinet-maker' and 'carpenter'.
