John Cafe was born to Biles Cafe, a yeoman in the County of Somerset. He was apprenticed to James Gould on 15 December 1730 and completed his service on 5 March 1740. Cafe registered his first mark on 21 August 1740 and his second mark on 13 December 1742. Upon his death on 13 October 1757, William Cafe, his brother and former apprentice, took over the business and its current apprentices. This information and more information on William Cafe can be found in Grimwade's text on page 456-7. The marks mentioned above can be found in the same text on pages 94-95 signified by the nos. 1203 and 1228.

On 28 February 1673, John Bache was apprenticed to William Harrison by his father Thomas Bache, a yeoman from Avery Salop. Bache finished his service on 5 March 1680. His first son, also named John, was baptized 5 June 1681. His wife and the mother of his son John, Margarett (no previous surname given), was buried 11 September 1682 at St Mary Woolnoth. Bache was then married 28 June 1683 in the same parish to Suzanna Moore with whom he had three sons and four daughters. Bache entered a joint mark with William Denny (who was also apprenticed by William Harrison) which was undated and estimated by Arthur Grimwade to be in April 1697 at Dove Court, Lombard Street. On 11 August 1697, Bache is noted to have signed a petition 'against the work of "aliens and foreigners"'. His second mark was entered without Denny on 1 November 1700 and his third 20 June 1720. Two unregistered marks have also been attributed to Bache for a communion patten plate and trencher salts. The spelling of his name ranges from Bache, Backe and Batch in church registers. This biographical information is available in Grimwade's London Goldsmiths on pp. 427-8 and his marks on p. 20 (mark for 1700), p. 42 (mark for 1697), p. 88 (mark for 1720) and p. 248-9 (two unregistered marks for 1711/1713 and an unknown date).
