I'm posting this advertisement for Potter Oyler and Sons at the Spitalfields Market ahead of next month's stopover in London. Potter Oyler was a son of Thomas Pettit Oyler, oldest son of my 5th-great-grandfather Samuel Oyler. While my 4th-great-grandfather George and his brothers Samuel Jr, David, William and John went to America, their brother Thomas Pettit stayed in England and worked in Whitechapel, London. I wrote about their sister Hannah Oyler back in May.
Samuel Sr's orchard property in Kent may have put Thomas Pettit and son Potter on a path to selling fruit. I'll explore the fruit business and the Oylers at Spitalfields further in the next post.
In August 2014 I took a street art walk through nearby Shoreditch, without knowing the family connection to the Spitalfields Market. I'm looking forward to a return visit to this part of London.
