  • Notes 
    • was still a minor when he inherited the business and property in Middle Street and on The Green.

      Later he too served as town bailiff four times between 1755 and 1770 and was one of the original Gosport Paving Trustees appointed in 1763.

      By 1760 the contract was in William's own name and he was supplying, amongst other iron goods, nails, hinges, locks, hooks, chisels, axes, hammers, files, ladles, shovels, tongs and forks to the dockyard.

      In 1768-9 he supplied £7,000 worth of iron goods weighing around 200 tons.



      His brother-in-law, Henry Cort, inherited the works.
