Henderson and Bisset bookbinders

[Teabag]

Hello

I am looking into my family history and wonder if anyone knows any history of Henderson and Bisset, they were bookbinders in Edinburgh and were bookbinders to the queen from 1839 to 1892. I am interested in James Henderson and his family life as well.

Hope someone can help.

Thank you

I found this ref in The National Library of Scotland - Scottish book trade index
TAYLOR, James apprentice bookbinder Perth
Perth 1756
James Taylor apprenticed to John Bisset bookbinder and glazier Perth 1756
Maxted
I wonder if this John Bisset is connected to Henderson & Bisset - if so it takes you to an earlier century
