His first globes were 9 and 12 inch diameter published in collaboration with Gabriel Wright on 1st January 1782. Wright was a mathematical instrument maker who had previously worked for Benjamin Martin who, in turn, had acquired the plates of Senex's celebrated globes from James Ferguson. William's son, Thomas Marriott, is recorded in Clifton, Gloria Directory of Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851 as a globe maker apprenticed to his father, in 1783 with whom he went into partnership in 1790.

The firm was taken-on by Thomas's daughter, Elizabeth Marriott, after his death in 1820 and then by her husband, S.S. Edkins. on their marriage in 1832.

Jeremiah Watkins is recorded by Clifton as working from 5 Charing Cross, London 1798 until his death in 1810.

At this time it was common practice for the vendors of globes to put their own trade label over that of the manufacturer.
