Penciller? Of course I'm only a bloke, so please forgive me if I'm wide of the mark, but isn't a pencil pleat something applied to old fashioned tablecloths and curtains? Looks like a row of pencils side by side. |

Hi, its a guy! Yes, I wondered if it was something like that, or possibly you know they made those old, oh gawd, cant remember - baize is it? tablecloths - I remember my nan having one, sort of weaved in lines which you could have a good pick at. I wonder if REALLY posh ones had a pattern all over them. Would be expensive. |

I ve been looking back at all my stuff again - amazing bits you miss. Anyway, I want to try to find a Mary Ann Groves born c1849 - says Rotherhithe - married my GGF William Dixon in 1868 (Ive got the certificate). But, whilst we wait, what do you reckon a tablecloth penciller did for a living (her father, Thomas) |
