Their description summarises the lives and activities of successive members of the Read, Rawson and Wilson families: ‘Mary Anne Rawson, née Read (1801-1887), of Wincobank Hall, Sheffield, was a noted campaigner against slavery. She was the daughter of Joseph Read (1774-1837) and his wife Elizabeth, both prominent Nonconformists and philanthropists. Joseph Read controlled the company which became the Sheffield Smelting Company. Mary Anne's sister, Elizabeth Read (1803-1851), was married to William Wilson (1800-1866), and was the mother of Henry Joseph Wilson (1833-1914). Sometime in the late 1820s, Mary Anne Read married William B. Rawson, a banker of Nottingham. The marriage however was very short-lived, as William Rawson died sometime during the 1830s … Henry Joseph Wilson (1833-1914) was born in Nottingham, the son of William Wilson (1800-1866) and Elizabeth, née Read (1803-1851), Nonconformist radicals; his father was the chairperson of the Nottingham Anti-Slavery committee … In 1866, after the death of his father, Wilson joined his brother at the Sheffield Smelting Company. The success of the business enabled Wilson to pursue a career in politics, championing ultra-progressive Liberalism … Wilson's son, Alexander Cowan Wilson (1866-1955), was a well-known Quaker philanthropist. Alexander Wilson moved to Manchester in 1916 where he continued in the family tradition of campaigning against slavery and conscription’.Provenance: By descent to David R. Wilson (1926-2020), bookseller and ornithologist (obituary: British Birds, vol. 113, issue 9, pp 560–⁠561).
