Hi anybody out there know anything about old watches or recommend someone in the Edinburgh area ?

Was given a pocket watch by my mum yesterday which came from my Grandfather and/or possibly from my great grandfather.

Apart from being able to tell it's silver and carries the anchor mark for Birmingham I'm at a bit of a loss. It also has a stylised "t" stamped on it and the letters CH and GC&co.

Had a hunt on the web and by the looks of it the "t" could mean either 1817 or 1918, the latter being more likely I would have thought.

Any pointers ?

Thanks
