John A Bamkin, Orphan aged 9 in 1881 in Devon. Born Glam. Or was he 19? And his mother was Rebecca Bamkin? A widowed nurse born in Devon Barnstable in 1850 In the 1891 Barnstable census (area Newport) his job is given as Designer of fine art pottery	A John Arthur Bamkin worked for Charles Brannon as a decorative artist in Devon. The work of the Brannon Company is still collected today. James Brannon (his descendant) reports... Jonathon Arthur Bamkin was born 1871 died 1952 in Clevedon as retired fish monger. He worked for Brannans until 1902. Klara Hegedus reported Arthur Bamkin (sic) was a key member of the CH Brannam art pottery of Barnstaple (North Devon). I would need to look his dates up but he will have been working there some time between 1880-1915 or so. The Brannam factory is still going (in Barnstaple) and they have a small museum there which might be able to help. There is also a museum in Barnstaple which has examples of Brannam (but I don't know if they have examples of Bamkin in particular). There is a fab book called "Art Potters of Barnstaple" by Audrey Edgeler that would tell you more about the pottery and the arts and crafts movement that spawned it. Unfortunately it is out of print but you can find copies for about £100 (it was a small print run and we Brannam fanatics guard our copies closely!).
