Research Notes

In 'Darwen and its people' by J.G. Shaw (1889) p. 141: "Old John Lightbown, who died in 1883, and was buried on his 92nd birthday, had three sons and one daughter by his first wife - James, Henry, Roger and Betty; and one son and one daughter by his second. ... Betty married twice, her second husband being John Hunt, son of James. They had a son, Roger, who lives at Pendleton."

Sons John and James Cockshut in 'A history of English wallpaper, 1509-1914' by Sugden, Alan Victor; Edmondson, John Ludlam: "When about twenty years of age they joined their uncle, Henry Lightbown, at Pendleton, and there passed through all the different phases of factory experience. (Some of their special achievements are recorded in the section devoted to Lightbown, Aspinall & Co.)." John and James Cockshut were, with the Huntingtons, Henry Lightbown and George Kirby, big figures in the machine-printed wallpaper expansion of the second half of the 19th century. They were as a combination wonderfully gifted by temperament and training to act as partners and complements to each other. John, a genial salesman, a shrewd diviner of policy and keen business man, and James, the artist, never so happy as when " striking off," designer, colourist, and no mean hand at mechanics." They became owners of Allen, Cockshut & Co.
