Ursprünglich zum Klempner bestimmt, wurde er
angeblich Schüler von John Morrison und arbeitete
um 1825 für G. Corsby. Wenig ansprechende Arbeit.
Manche glauben, den Namen Astley lesen zu müssen.
William Meredith Morris+
Originally a tinman, he became a pupil of John Morrison, and worked for some time for George Corsby. The work varies in character ; some of his Amati copies showing very intelligent work, but the tone is rather weak and harsh. No label of his is known.
