William Gibbs (businessman)
William Gibbs (1790–1875)〔 was an English businessman, best known as one of three founding partners in Antony Gibbs & Sons, a religious philanthropist, and the owner who developed Tyntesfield in Wraxall, North Somerset.
==Early life==
Born at No.6 Calle de Cantarranas, Madrid, Spain〔 he was the second son of merchant-trader Antony Gibbs (1756–1815) and his wife, Dorothea Barnetta (née Hucks, 1760–1820). Antony, who had been born and raised in Clyst St Mary, Devon, was the fourth son of Dr. George Abraham Gibbs (1718–1794), who rose to be Chief Surgeon at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital. His other children included the judge and politician Sir Vicary Gibbs, William's uncle.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=William Gibbs )〕
Antony was a Spanish-based wool trader who went into business with his brother and became bankrupt after his brother's untimely death. The brothers' father had backed the business financially and was also made bankrupt. Having apprenticed to a merchant-trader based in Bristol and then served as his agent in Spain, Antony returned with his new family to Spain to clear his debts and hence his name.
William Gibbs's childhood was divided between Britain and Spain. After his elder brother (George) Henry reached school age, the family had returned to Exeter, where William and his brother attended a school run by Charles Lloyd. From 1800 William attended Blundell's School in Tiverton, but was withdraw in 1802 to join his father and brother on a business trip to their offices in Cadiz. Both brothers never returned full-time to school, in part reflecting the precarious nature of their father's business.〔
