Biography:

1. William Boxall was working as a Labourer earning 1/6d per day, and was a single man (Supply 5/221 dated the 8th May 1801). Note: In this document, anyone not an Artificer, was described as a Labourer. 2. A Return of Artificers & Labourers dated the 3rd November 1801 (reference also Supply 5/221) recorded that he was still employed as a Labourer at the Cylinder Houses in Sussex. The same document said that since the cylinders had been out of repair, Boxall had been employed in stacking timber in the yards and levelling and preparing the ground where the cylinders were to be re-sited. He was given notice to leave, but returned to the Mills sometime in 1804. 3. According to the List of Foremen, Artificers and Labourers (Supply 5/224 dated the 30th January 1806) Mr. Boxall was employed as a Cylinder Man, earning 2/-d. per day, and at that date he had 2 years' service. 4. According to a further List (Supply 5/226 dated the 18th June 1807) Mr. Boxall was still employed as a Cylinder Man earning 2/-d per day, as he was in August 1808 (Supply 5/ 227 dated the 23rd August 1808). 5. Supply 5/228 dated the 1st September 1810 confirmed the information given in Note 4. 6. List of Employees (Supply 5/229 dated the 29th August 1812) recorded he was still a Cylinder Man, but was now paid 2/8d per day, and this is information is confirmed by a further List of Employees and their Pay dated the 13th February 1814 (Supply 5/230).
