1924 Occupation at time of marriage also given as 'painter' or 'printer'.
Started his first silk mill in 1815 in Newcastle under Lyme. Made a fortune in the silk business.
Had a prominent position in Newcastle under Lyme as a householder and churchman until his death in 1836. Lived at Friarswood i.e. at the silk mill.

Extracts from 'The soft silk industry of Newcastle under Lyme by Stephen M Adams':-
'Two enterprising gentlemen, Thomas Major Lester and Samuel Henshall entered into partnership and, in 1815 aand they erected a silk throwing mill in Marsh Parade'. (ref. Parliamentary Papers 1834 XX page 312).
'The partnership was a success; silk had established a firm foothold in Newcastle under Lyme but unforeseen difficulties were soon to shatter the dreams of lasting prosperity.'

'In the period 1829 to 1832, Henshall and Lester's mill in Marsh Parade was still a relatively modern factory employing 150 people and was powered by a 8 hp steam engine'.

'Richard Faulkner of the Friarswood Road factory entered into partnership with Thomas Lester, who ambitiously transferred his allegiance from the Marsh Parade Mill to the much larger Friarswood Road Manufactory. This new association was a relatively short one. It ended with the departure of Faulkner on 27/3/1830. The Friarswood Road Mill later became a family concern when William Upton Lester and his brother John were admitted to their father's business on 1/1/1834. In the meantime, Samuel Henshall had replaced his former partner by his own son William.'

Gravestone implies that he was born in 1776.

From Newcastle Museum: -
'Friarswood Mill wove both dress fabrics and ribbons. Ribbons were used to trim hats and bonnets and were also used as decoration on dresses, Silk dress fabrics were woven in narrow widths. The first silk mill in Newcastle was opened in 1822 by Henshall and Lester in Marsh Parade. By 1833 there were five silk mills in the area including two at Silverdale, which employed over 700 people in total including many children. The silk industry declined towards the end of the 19th century and the mills were converted to Fustian cutting'.

Friarswood Mill was used for silk production from 1835 to 1857 (Newcastle musuem). It was sold by auction on 13/05/1855. Another source says that the mill was built in 1825 and first used in January 1826.

Friarswood Mill was up for auction in July 1844. (His will was not proved until 1844!)

Committed suicide by shooting himself in the head and died at the London Hospital on 10/07/1894. Inquest was held on 13/07/1894.
Address at time of death was given as 26 Halford Road, Richmond. This address was not listed in the 1891 census. His address in the 1891 census was 31 Halford Road. Sons, John Beaumont and Eric Stanley were born at 26 Halford Road.
Wife's death certificate gives his occupation as private secretary.
The term 'secretary' probably indicates that he was a clerk and the 1891 census records him as a warehouseman. The implication is that he was living somewhat above his means, having a house in Richmond and working in Whitechapel.

to Catharine Hunter on 11/12/1847
to Elisabeth Brown on 18/02/1849

At time of marriage to Elisabeth Brown, was 'of Irvine'

Marriage to Elizabeth Brown is incorrect judging by censuses.

No records. There is no reference in the censuses. Since he is referred to as 'sometime commission merchant in Glasgow' in his father's will, this suggests that it was not known where he was or what he was doing at the time that the will was written. However, it was known that he died in Tacna, Peru by virtue of a reference on his father's gravestone in Irvine churchyard.
