Notes for John George (i) Boileau
From BBB:15
John George i, only survivor of the eight sons of John Theophilus ii _, had started in it [his father’s druggist business] as a young man, but in 1850, owing to a disagreement with his uncles, he left and set up for himself. He became associated with a Mr Boyd, in a similar line of business, and when the Boileau firm came up on the market the two associates bought it and continued as 'Boileau & Boyd', which name it has kept ever since. John became managing director, a position in which he was a decided success, enjoying general esteem and goodwill. When he died in 1883 Mr Boyd continued as sole proprietor, although Edward John ii, John's son, was possibly employed there for a short time. In any event, the latter's early death caused the end of the direct connections of the family with it, after a hundred years, although the Boileau part in its history is till remembered, more than just in the name. There was, however, still an indirect connection in that for many years the firm had business dealings with a chemist in Dublin, Charles Digges, whose wife Kathleen was Edward's daughter.
