In the late 1880's a new partner was taken on, William Clayton of Saltley who operated a special fleet of liquid cargo boats as well as traditional loads. William had actually died before the companies merged but his son Thomas carried on trading with his fathers name. On the 3rd of July 1889 Fellows, Morton & Clayton Ltd. was formed. This company took over all of Claytons general cargo boats merged with the Fellows Morton & Co fleet. At this time the general cargo fleet amounted to some 11 steamers and approx 112 butty boats. The tank boats were transferred to another new company which was called Thomas Clayton Limited of Oldbury.
can we find william and thomas in the census please ?
