Biographical history
Into the family of John Steedman, who in 1812 was established as a chemist in Walworth, married successively members of the Faulconer and Crisp families; some of their deeds and papers survive, with pedigrees compiled by Frederick Arthur Crisp. The history of the family firm, which made 'Steedman's Soothing Powders for Children Cutting their Teeth' and like remedies, is summarised in an article, Ref. F/CRS/021.
It was probably Frederick Arthur Crisp who acquired a small group of sacrament certificates, not relating to the family; those concerned with the London area are retained, Ref. F/CRS/14-20; those for Buckinghamshire, Cornwall and Devon have been transferred to the Record Offices of those counties.
