| Occupation | 1824 (age 49-50) | Clockmaker and ironmonger; Crediton , Devon, England3 |
| High Street, Crediton "The inhabitants of the West Town of Crediton are much indebted to the public spirit of Mr. Jonas Pollard, clockmaker and ironmonger of that place who has, at his own expense, fixed up a neat clock with the dial against the front of his house, facing the market place, which is a great accommodation to the public". At that time the market "place" was Broad Street, which ran from North Street to St Saviour's Way, Crediton - the wide part of the High Street. |

| Occupation | Clock and watchmaker; Crediton , Devon, England | |
| High Street, Crediton He made long case and turret clocks, by himself, and in partnership with his brother Thomas in Exeter - T&J Pollard. The partnership made church clocks amongst others at Shillingford St George (1812-1813), Ashreigney (brass plate states Pollard Crediton Fecit, 1813), Talaton 1817, Bickleigh, inscribed Pollard Crediton Fecit 1810, Dunsford 1830, Christow St James 1831 and Broadcyst 1830. The clock at the Cononteign estate, Christow installed in 1817 was sold in 1980 and is now in a purpose built tower in the Isle of Man. T & J made a country house clock for Great Dunsford House in 1829. When consulted about building a clock for Tiverton Pannier Market, Jonas wrote a letter referring to the Dunsford clock, and another made for Lord Exmouth. "Mr Pollard works to low prices wrote Wasbrough Hale & Co of Bristol in a letter to one of his rivals for the contract - H.Foster of Fore Street, Tiverton. In the event the order went to W.T.Tucker. |
