William Benbow
William Benbow (1787 – 1864) was a nonconformist preacher, pamphleteer, pornographer and publisher, and a prominent figure of the Reform Movement in Manchester and London.〔(William Benbow ), www.spartacus-schoolnet.co.uk. Access date 27 August 2012.〕 He worked with William Cobbett on the radical newspaper ''Political Register'', and spent time in prison as a consequence of his writing, publishing and campaigning activities. He has been credited with formulating and popularising the idea of a General Strike for the purpose of political reform.〔Carpenter, Niles. (William Benbow and the Origin of the General Strike ). ''The Quarterly Journal of Economics'' , Vol. 35, No. 3 (May, 1921), pp. 491-499. Oxford University Press 〕
==Early life, religion and family==
Benbow was born on 5 February 1787 in Middlewich, Cheshire, son of William Benbow, shoemaker, and his wife Hannah (nee Chear).〔Kent, Gary, 'Tom Paine's Grave-Robber Ends His Days in Sydney', ''History'', Magazine of the Royal Australian Historical Society, March 2015, no 123, pp 11-14〕 His early employment history is unknown, but McCalman describes him as an ex-soldier. By 1808 he was preaching Nonconformist sermons in the Newton area of Manchester, and evidence suggests he may have been a Quaker.〔 He appears as "William Benbow, of Manchester, shoemaker" in a list of the leading reformers of Lancashire in 1816. When interviewed in Chester gaol in 1841, where he was serving a sentence for sedition, he described himself as a married shoemaker with three sons, and gave his religion as Baptist.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.chartists.net/Political-prisoners-1841.htm )〕
