Hawkes published in 1950. A member of the Barker family of clockmakers, William was believed to have come to Wigan with his father Thomas in circa 1737 and established himself not only as a clockmaker, but also a gunsmith and petitioned to be made a Freeman in March 1748 stating that having 'married a wife there, is desirous to obtain his Freedom and to exercise his trade therein…' being finally admitted in 1751. He quickly became very active in the town and was at the forefront of a number of petitions stopping others from plying their trade without the requisite Freedoms, often to stop competition from those of equal ability. Thomas Hatton, an 18th century London watchmaker and author on clocks wrote in his Introduction to the Mechanical Part of Clock and Watch Work, published in 1773, that William Barker can be put 'in the front rank' of makers. Barker's masterpiece, a longcase clock with various complications, including moon-phases and state of sunrise and sunset along with calendar work for the Old Style and New Style that came into use in 1752, was made circa 1780. William Barker fell ill in July 1786 and died some months after, with his son Daye Barker continuing the business for a short while.
