David, should have said this is a Wikipedia site but it gives an immediate link to Salters own site, Sylvia.

Family tradition, says that our family were at one time salt merchants in the city of London. (If it is true it will be the only traditiion that is. ) I have traced the family back to a Richard Sherriff or Shirreffe born about 1798, who was a musician. His children were born in the Westminster and Bloomsbury area. I know there was a Salters Company in the City. If so are they still in existence, and if so would they have records that are accessible? David
