Sorry Cliff - can't help you with family history, but thought you might like to know that his work is still appreciated. I recently inherited a victorian silver table lighter, passed down the family and originally owned by my great grandparents at the end of the 1800's. Was checking out the silversmith's origins - who turned out to be Joseph Braham - and came across your post.
Its a very nice piece, but unfortunately my family hasn't taken a lot of care with it and there are a few dents/broken bits to be sorted!!
Good luck.
Alison
