Robert Martin (?1757-1796)
Although he may already have been a master printer, from 1758 Robert Martin worked as a journeyman for the great John Baskerville, later becoming his confidential agent. After Baskerville's death in 1775, Martin continuing type-founding for his widow, Sarah. Before that, perhaps as early as 1757, Martin was working in his own right, and in a directory of 1770 appeared as 'Martin, Robert, Printer with Mr. Baskerville's Types, No. 10, Mount Pleasant'. Seven years later he was listed as bookseller and printer at Ann Street, Mount Pleasant. I have encountered only one ballad, The Bristol Bridegroom, with the imprint of R. Martin, No. 10, Mount Pleasant, Birmingham, but two others may be his: Aristippus (Printed at Martin's Office, Birmingham) and The Wandering Shepherdess (Martin, Printer, Birmingham). Robert Martin died in 1796 and was succeeded the following year by his widow, Susanna.
2. The Bristol Bridegroom; or, The Ship Carpenter's Love to a Merchant's Daughter (You lovers all draw near): JR
3. * The Wandering Shepherdess (All you that know what to true love belongs): PP
Susanna Martin (1797-1807)
Susanna (or Susannah), the widow of Robert Martin, succeeded him at 10 Ann Street, Mount Pleasant, as a stationer, bookbinder and ink maker. She was also a printer, the second woman in Birmingham to issue ballads, though I have seen only two such items with the imprint of S. Martin, Ann Street, the different editions of Three New Carols for Christmas.
2. Three New carols for Christmas: O Fair, O Fair Jerusalem (O fair, O fair Jerusalem) / A New Carol for St John's Day (When bloody Herod reigned king). Tune: Dives and Lazarus / A Carol for a Wassel Bowl. To be sung on Twelfth Day at Night (A jolly wassel bowl): BR2
S & T Martin (1807-1810)
Thomas Martin, Robert's nephew, became Susanna's business partner in 1807 (though some sources suggest between one and four years earlier). Operating from 10 Ann Street and also 10 Haymarket, they were printers, printing ink manufacturers and bookbinders. No.5 (below) has this imprint: 'Printed by S. & T. Martin, Birmingham, Of whom may be had all Sorts of Histories, Godly Books, Slip Ballads, &c'. It also bears the annotation, presumably made by the purchaser: Elizabeth Oakley July 27 1808'. When Susanna Martin died in 1810 at the age of 76 the firm closed.
2. The Garland of Trials (This noble relation which I am to write): JR
3. The Green Coat Boy's Garland. In Four Parts (You pretty young maidens and bachelors sweet): PS
4. Let's Chase Dull Care Away: BR3
5. The Oxfordshire Tragedy, or, Fair Rosanna's Overthrow (Young virgins of fair beauty bright): BO
6. Patient Grissel (A noble marquis, as he was hunting): HC 105.40, JR
Little is known of Peach, beyond his imprint, which states: 'Successor to Wright, Printer, Smithfield, Birmingham'. It is curious, though, that Wright's last address as a printer was 93 Lichfield Street, and that he was working at 17 Moat Lane, Smithfield, only during 1827-29. Perhaps, as well as acquiring Wright's presses and type, Peach also operated from one of his earlier addresses.

William Pratt (1840s?-1861)
As printer, stationer, bookseller, bookbinder and newsagent, Pratt worked, from a single address, 82 Digbeth, which he called 'The cheapest Song Warehouse in England'or 'W. Pratt's Song Emporium'. One of his sheets (no.189, below) carries this information: 'Published by H. Reed, Stationer & Bookseller, 67 West-street, and 1, Tower-hill, Old Market-street, Bristol, where Hawkers and Shops are supplied on the Lowest Terms'. As late as 1851 he is recorded in the census only as a stationer (and native of Greenwich, aged 36) though the date of 1845 appears in manuscript on a copy of one of his sheets, Free Trade (no.103, below). He appears in the directory for 1861, though not in the census. The Anne Pratt, widow, shown as stationer, shown at Court 17, 3 House, Bartholomew Street (not far from Digbeth), could well have been Pratt's widow – and her son, William Pratt, aged 14, fits remarkably well with the boy, aged four, of the same name, living with William Pratt, ten years earlier. (I am indebted to Keith Chandler for the census information). On some sheets Pratt printed stock numbers, of which the highest I have seen is 777 (see no.72, below). Of these, I have traced only 72. It is clear nevertheless that Pratt must have been the most prolific of the Birmingham ballad printers.
