Seems the concern began on the coattails of Thompson's Patent Punched Steel, Ordnance, Gun Barrel and Tube Company - I wonder if James Thompson had expired?

The London Gazette, April 25, 1865

"Notice is hereby given, that the Partnership lately subsisting
between us, James Thompson, of Bliston, Staffordshire,
Ironmaster, John Bbagnall Johnson, of Wolverhampton, Staffordshire,
Ironmaster, heretofore carrying on trade under the style or firm
of Thompson's Patent Punched Steel, Ordnance, Gun Barrel and
Tube Company, was this day dissolved by mutual consent, as to
the said James Thompson; all debts owing to the said partnership
are to be received by the said John Bagnall Johnson, and
William Deakin, whose receipts shall be a sufficient discharge
for the same - Dated this 23rd day of April, 1865"

The Edinburgh Gazette, May 28, 1869

"John Bagnall Johnson, of Wolverhampton, lately carrying on business at Westbromwich, both in Stafford, in partnership with
William Deakin and Richard Dodd, under the style of Deakin and Johnson, patent punch steel tube manufactures"

Wonder if John Bagnall Johnson expired????


With Richard Dodd as a partner, Deakin & Johnson was dissolved on June 1st, 1869

Possibly odd it was dissovled prior to bankruptcy??

Manufacture of hollow projectiles. Being British Patent Number: 1221 published: 30 April 1866

http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=942977806&searchurl=an%3Dwilliam%2Bdeakin%26amp%3Bsortby%3D1


Held British Patent Nr. 901, March 27th of 1866

Short lived venture & I'm curious what James Thompson's contribution might have been and any relationship between the above & William Powell.

All of this Limey "Wind in the Willows" just proves one solid point- lawyers, barristers and solicitors can "muck-up" even a wet dream, without breaking a sweat-the only Punch the Limeys know is a parody magazine by that same name.

Indeed it was James Thompson's British Patent Nr. 139 of 1864(January) by which Deakin & Johnson punched their gun barrels


Engineering August 10th, 1866

I have recently discovered the trade of my Great Great Grandfather John Bagnall Johnson and intrigued to see of his involvement in Barrel making in West Bromwich in 1860's.

Are there any resources that people can direct me to in terms of where I can find out more information about him>

As a newbie to this field is there any way of determining where the barrels he was making in the 1860's would have been used - would they be supplied to a particular gun company for example? Would examples of his work be traceable today? I would love to see something he physically made.
