This business began as Holy & Newbould, button maker, which registered a silver mark from West Bar in 1774. In 1787, the address was Sheffield Moor. The partners were Thomas Holy (1752-1830), who was the brother of Daniel Holy, and William Newbould (1749-1802). Thomas Holy was known as the ‘financier’ of Sheffield Methodism. Newbould had married Holy’s daughter, Sarah, and so he partnered his father-in-law. They became American traders, helped by George Suckley (1765-1845)....
