Biography

This is William Thwaytes, the nephew and heir of William Thwaytes of Fenchurch Street (who had been a partner in the grocer firm Davison, Newman). William Thwaytes the elder died in 1835 leaving £700,000 (d. 13 December 1834). His will was unattested. William Thwaytes the nephew has not been traced by LBS but was conceivably the William Thwaytes of Holelsfoot Lodge, Westmoreland, England who died in 1850.

Will

William Thwaytes or Davison, Newman failed to attest his will, so his property including his 4/18 share of Rose Hall passed to his nephew also William Thwaytes, rather than to his widow. Owen Rutter, At the three sugar loaves and crown, a brief history of Messrs Davison, Newman & Company now incorporated with the West India Produce Association Limited (London: Davison Newman & Co., 1938).
