GB 0074 ACC/0362 1789-1842 Collection 0.16 linear metres Hart , Harry , fl 1789-1842 , gentleman, pastry cook and truss maker

In 1801 Harry Hart, then living in Princes Street in the parish of Saint James Westminster and described as a Pastry Cook, took a lease of a house in Arabella Row Pimlico for £335 but in 1803 he had evidently retired from his occupation of pastry cook and was now described in deeds as "gentleman" while his brother Robert who lived or carried on business in the Strand continued work as pastry cook and confectioner. For the next 23 years Harry Hart, sometimes alone and sometimes with his brother, leased a number of small properties in various parts of London to people of various descriptions.

In 1807 however, Robert Salmon, of Woburn, Bedfordshire, invented a truss for the treatment of rupture and requiring capital to market his invention he took into partnership Harry Hart and John Ody, previously a dyer. Salmon died in 1821 and in 1825 Hart sold his interest in the partnership to Ody in return for an annuity of £250 payable for 12 years In 1813 Hart was living in Flask Lane in the Parish of Saint George Hanover Square but in 1816 he had moved to Brixton Hill. Robert Hart married a Miss Norris.
