Christopher Wilson (father)
Christopher Wilson (1731–1804) was an English merchant and banker in Kendal.
==Life==
He was the eldest son of Thomas Wilson of Natland, a hosier, and Ellen Burrough or Burrow. He inherited land and property from his father.〔Satchell and Wilson p. 5 and p. 51.〕〔Sandys Birket Foster, ''The Pedigree of Wilson of High Wray & Kendal'' (1871), p. 18; (archive.org. )〕 Going into business himself as a hosier, he started to invest in linsey manufacture by 1766.〔Satchell and Wilson p. 11.〕 From beginnings buying fleeces to dye, he built up a merchant connection in textiles, and gunpowder, though partnerships, sales travellers, and exports.〔Satchell and Wilson pp. 12–6.〕 Wilson built Blindbeck House in Kendal, and his family moved there in 1785.〔Satchell and Wilson p. 55.〕
Wilson founded the Kendal Bank (Maude, Wilson & Crewdson), with Joseph Maude and Thomas Crewdson, on 1 January 1788 (Crewdson was a cousin to Wilson).〔Chandler, p. 20.〕〔Satchell and Wilson p. 4.〕 This bank opened in Farrers House, Stramongate (moving to Highgate in 1792) simultaneously with John Wakefield's bank; the two banks merged in 1840.〔(banking-history.co.uk, ''Wakefield Crewdson - the Kendal Bank''. )〕 Wilson served as alderman of Kendal, being mayor in 1798–9.〔Chandler, pp. 51–2.〕
