He is later recorded as working from rue de la Verrerie 1812-20 and 1830-50; and in 1840 he was at at Boulevard St. Martin. In addition he is also noted in the Paris trade directories as working from Bar-du-Bec in 1839 and in 1840 at rue des Alexiens. Unfortunately there are very few records concerning Lesieur’s life and career but it is possible that he was the clockmaker François-Eugène Lesieur whose inventory made on 29th August 1848 after his death at 43 rue de Romainville, Belleville, near Paris, is kept in the Archives Nationales.
