Died 26 April 1883
Active: 1832 - 1881
Country of birth and death: England
Cabinet maker, joiner, upholsterer, house decorator, business owner
Born and died in Leeds, Yorkshire. He was a partner in a substantial carving, gilding, house fitting and decorating business. For about twenty years this was run as a partnership between Ingham and William Constantine. This ended in 1852, it is presumed because Constantine retired, and Ingham took over the running of the firm.

Probate date: 14 June 1883

William Ingham was not necessarily resident at this address after this date but the property remained in the family - a daughter was living here in 1883 when Ingham died.

This is probably a mis-spelling of Belmont House in Clarendon Road, which remained in the family until at least the mid-1880s.
Personal and Professional Connections
Partner of William Sutcliffe Constantine
1830 (Circa) - 1 January 1852
On 1 January 1852 the partnership between William Constantine and William Ingham operating as Constantine and Co. was dissolved and Ingham ran the business thereafter. It is assumed this change was made because Constantine retired - he died in 1854.
