Albert Inman Bought J. Button & Sons

Albert Sidney Inman bought the business of J. Button & Sons in 1957.

Albert’s parents were Harry and Miriam Alice Inman (nee Weston). Harry was born in 1881. He died in 1944. Miriam was born in 1882. She died in 1966.

Harry and Miriam’s marriage was registered in Poplar, Middlesex, in 1903.

Albert Inman’s birth was registered at Poplar in 1919. He came to Warminster when he was one year old. The 1921 Census shows Harry Inman and his family living at 34 Sambourne, Warminster. Harry’s occupation is recorded as a chargehand at John Hall & Co., the varnish and enamel paint makers at Weymouth Street, Warminster. Harry Inman’s obituary said he was for over 25 years the manager at John Hall & Co. Harry Inman died on 8th February 1944, aged 63.

The 1921 Census records that Albert Inman had two older brothers: Henry G. Inman and Frederick W. Inman, and two older sisters: Miriam K. Inman and Florence L. Inman.

The 1939 Register shows Albert S. Inman, then aged 20, living at 7 Beechwood Avenue, Frome, Somerset. Other household members recorded at that address are: Frederick W. Inman, aged 26; Kathleen E. Inman, aged 25; Gordon Holmes, aged 11; and Ronald Keith, aged 11.

Albert started up a haulage business in 1946. This was taken over in 1949 by British Road Services.

In 1950 Albert Inman started up again as a stone merchant and haulage contractor with a fleet of 18 lorries. Among the contracts he undertook were ones supplying the Hampshire, Berkshire and Essex local authorities; the lorries transporting 55,000 tons of stone per year from the Mendip Quarries to various parts of the country. Mr. Inman disposed of this particulat business in 1950.

Having bought the firm of J. Button & Sons, in 1957, he managed it, continuing to trade under its original name. A partial change of ownership took place on 1st September 1962. Although he retained the haulage side of the business, transporting general goods, furniture and machinery, and acting as shipping agents and removal contractors, Inman disposed of the parcels service to James Express Carriers Ltd.

James Express Carriers Ltd. had a parcels and goods network covering ten counties, delivering goods and parcels to the West Country, Cornwall and Wales. They also operated a limited service to and from Birmingham. Their central offices were at Silverthorne Lane, Bristol 2, and the managing director was Mr. A.J. James.

Albert Inman married Evelyn Dulcie Rutt in 1948.

Evelyn Inman was born in 1922. She died in 1990.

Albert Inman died on 13th November 1995. He was buried at Pine Lawns Cemetery, Warminster, on 22nd November 1995.
