Biographical Notes
Eustace was employed as an analytical chemist for 56 years in United Alkali Co. Ltd which eventually became ICI Limited in 1926.
On 7 January 1863 Eustace and Mary Jane Picard married. Mary Jane was born in Liverpool, so they may have been married there.
In 1871 Eustace and Mary Jane lived in Widnes St Luke's in Lancashire, where Eustace was employed as an analytical chemist. Mary Jane had two young children, Arthur four and Edith Mary two years. Margaret and Alice Hough were their domestic servants.
Ten years later, while Mary Jane and the other children stayed in Widnes, Eustace and his son Arthur were visitors in the home of Annie M. Nutter 39 years (born London) and her daughter Helen B. 12 (born Burton, Westmoreland). Eustace at 43 years was an Alkalai Manufacturer, while son Arthur 14 years was a Scholar. The Nutter household was in Stansted, Kent. Perhaps Arthur was to live in the Nutter household while he attended school.
Eustace (49 years) and his son Arthur (17 years), who was a student, sailed from Liverpool on the ship Oregon to New York City, arriving on 25 August 1884.
In 1891 Eustace and Mary Jane were living in Much Woolton, Widnes. Eustace was by then 56 years old and Mary Jane 53. Eustace's occupation was "Alkalai Manufacturer." Their children were all living at home: Arthur 24, a chemistry student; Edith Mary 22; Walter 19, a mechanical engineer student; and Edward 19, a law student.
Also in the household were Thomasina Picard, sister-in-law, aged 46, who was living on her own means. She had been born in Preston, Lancashire. The domestic help included Elizabeth C. Cadman cook 23 and Rachel E. Lambert 21 and Margaret E. Morris 19 who were both Housemaid - Waitress.
The family lived at 4 Gateacre Road. Two houses from them lived the family of a Unitarian minister.
Eustace had moved to Toxteth Park in Liverpool by the 1901 census. He was 66 years old and a widower. His twin sons were living with him. Walter was still single, but Edward, a barrister at law, had married May and had a baby daughter named Susan. I couldn't decipher what Walter's occupation was.
The household's domestic staff included a cook, nurse, waitress and housemaid. The occupations of some of their neighbours were oyster merchant, shipping agent, police constable and coffee merchant.
Eustace again sailed on the Baltic from Liverpool to New York, arriving on 2 September 1904. It may have been a business trip.
