Historical information

Information from a researcher: William Pybus junior came out on the Orissa in 1840 with his mother (Ann Pybus) and father (William Marmaduke Pybus) and numerous siblings. William Marmaduke started a 'Machinist, Lock and Gunsmith and Bellhanging' business, which he transferred to William jnr in 1848. This business was to become the Victoria Iron Brass & Bell Foundry, which started in Leigh Street and then moved to Hindley Street West in about 1850. One of William junior's sons was William Richard Pybus, the City Organist [see B 45002/3]. It is believed that the business was sold to Reynolds & Belcher in 1872.
