Charles Davis 1824-1914, founder of Charles Davis Ltd
Thomas Davis was born in St.Pancras, Middlesex in 1802 and married Ann Young born in St.Martins, Middlesex in 1803. They had eight children; Emma b1821, Thomas b1821, Charles b1824, Ann b1826, William b1828, Martha b1830, Sarah b1833 and Eliza b1836. They were living in 1841 and 1851 at 7 Hart Street, St.George Hanover Square and Thomas Snr. was listed as a Carriage lamp maker. At the age of about seventeen, Charles Davis was caught robbing a till; as a first offender he was dealt with reasonably leniantly, and served three months in gaol. After his release he was caught stealing a silk handkerchief. In the eyes of the authorities he was now a habitual petty thief, and on the 5th of April 1841, he was sentenced to transportation for ten years. While waiting for his sentence to be carried out, Charles spent ten months in a hulk, a ship moored offshore and used as a gaol. Then, on the 2nd of April 1842 the Candahar set sail from Spithead and arrived in Hobart on the 20th July 1842 with 249 male convicts. This is where the story of Charles Davis really begins. It is the story of a man who in 1847, on his release, set up a small tinsmithing workshop. By hard work and astute management, this grew into the hardware empire, Charles Davis Ltd, selling many items made in the greatly expanded workshops, and importing goods from all round the world. Charles Davis remained in charge until 1911, and only then, at the age of eighty-seven, passed control to his sons; Charles Jnr and Alfred Thomas. Marrying five times, he fathered twelve children, had thirty-two grandchildren, sixty-two great-grandchildren and founded a business which was to become 'one of Australia's oldest and most successful companies'.
