    Nails.
    In the Ford (K'ridge) there were two families of Nail makers
    One of these families lived in the Ford street - and the grandson of the Nailer is still living in the old home.
    The name was Hamilton - but always called "Thummelton" here, even to the present descendents.
    When the machine made article found its way to this country - they gave up the making of Nails.
