REDMER (RICHARD), bookseller in London, 1610-32; The Star at the West door of St. Paul's. Son of William Redmer, citizen and butcher of London. Apprentice to William Ponsonby { PONSONBY, William ( - 1603) ‹ LBT 08175 › } for seven years from Christmas, 1602, and took up his freedom in the Company on January 16th, 1610/11 [Arber, ii. 268; iii. 683]. He dealt in plays and miscellaneous literature. For a time he was in partnership with John Stepneth { STEPNEY, John ‹ LBT 08421 › }. Richard Redmer is mentioned in a list of second-hand booksellers who in 1628 were ordered to submit a catalogue of their books to the Archbishop of Canterbury [Dom. S. Papers, Chas. I, vol. 117 (9)]. He made his last entry in the Registers on September 30th, 1631, and was dead before August 13th, 1634, when his widow { REDMER, (Unknown) ‹ LBT 30736 › } transferred all her interests to Richard Badger { BADGER, Richard ( - 1641) ‹ LBT 08437 › } [Arber, iv. 261,325].
