Joseph Sewill1813 - 1895

Joseph Sewill was a watchmaker, chronometer maker, and nautical instrument maker in Liverpool, England. He likely retired to London in 1862. His son, John Joshua Sewill (d. 1891), succeeded him in the business.

After John Sewill died, the business passed to his brother Frank Sewill. By 1905, the family was no longer involved with the firm, which continues in existence in Liverpool until this day.
