Information Requested - Crabtree Limited
William Gibson - Works manager
By Sally Gibson
My grandfather William Clare Gibson worked for Crabtree Limited in the late 1800's to early 1900's. He was a Works Manager in 1901. Just wondering if anyone knows of this company and what they did exactly. There is some indication that my grandfather was involved in the invention of some sort of tool or motor for boats or ships. I have little information about him but believe he was also involved in sports as I have a silver coloured beer stein dated July 6th, 1901 for Crabtree Limited Sports. Any assistance in directing me to further information about this company or my grandfather would be very helpful.
