Charles Upfold (15 December 1834 - 14 March 1919〔''Newcastle Morning Herald'', Saturday, March 15, 1919, page 5.〕〔''Sydney Morning Herald'', Monday, March 17, 1919.〕 ), Justice of the Peace (9 September 1887), was an English soap manufacturer of great prominence in Australia. ==Family & background== Charles Upfold was born in Grove Street, Walworth Common, (both now gone), Surrey (today Walworth, London), then a prosperous middle-class district. His father, John Upfold, was a fellmonger. Charles was baptised in Sir John Soane's new St.Peter's Church of England at Walworth, on 7 January 1835. An excellent photograph of this splendid church can be found on page 206 of ''London's Churches'' by Christopher Hibbert. Charles Upfold served his apprenticeship as a soap maker with John Knight & Co. at their Wapping soapworks in London, just across the river from the parishes where Charles's father resided and worked. ''Knight's Castile'' soap is still sold today. His sister, Eliza, married John Knight junior. Charles was later a Director of Knights. Charles appears on the UK 1851 Census Return, with his parents and married sister Eliza at 11 Brandon Street, parish of St.Mary Newington, London, (then in Surrey), where he is described as a "soap maker". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Upfold」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
