William France Jnr (cabinetmaker)
William France Jnr was a cabinetmaker and upholsterer in 18th century London and a member of the well known France family who held the Royal Warrant for over half a century. He was the nephew of William France Snr and younger brother of Edward France, the former being cabinetmaker to the Royal Household. He was born in 1759 and died in 1838 in Boulogne, France. He was made a Freeman of Lancaster in 1785–86.
==Early life==
William France Jnr was the second son of John France, cabinetmaker, and nephew of William France Snr.〔Contrary to the major 'recognised' works on 18th century Cabinetmakers (e.g. The Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1660 to 1840 et al), William Jnr was not William Snr's son but his nephew. see reference 2 for Geoffrey Castle.〕 He was christened at St Martin-in-the-Fields on 14 January 1759.〔London, Westminster City Archives〕 His elder brother Edward France was formally apprenticed to his uncle William France Snr, and when he died in 1773, his younger nephew William Jnr, was not left a share in the business as he was only 14 at the time.〔Geoffrey Castle – 'The France Family of Upholsterers and Cabinet-Makers' – Furniture History Society Journal Vol XLI pp 25–43, Published 2005〕
However, the business was divided between his father and brother, John and Edward and by the time they had both died in 1775 and 1777 respectively he had inherited the whole business.〔(The National Archives, Documents Online )〕 As he was not of full legal age trustees were appointed and Samuel Beckwith, (who had worked for Thomas Chippendale), joined the partnership which traded initially as Beckwith and France at 101 St Martins Lane.〔
