He was in charge of the tinsmiths at 38, Field Street. He worked for Whitworths in Old Trafford possibly as the foreman of a shop making 9'naval guns. Had three daughters, Ada, Mary and Harriet and one son, William. His daughter, Harriet lived at 9, Peel Street, Droylsden and the slides were kept there for some time. Withington's first wife died, he lived with Harriet and then married again and retired to Southport. Information supplemented by Mary Ireland, Mr. Hough's god-mother. Glass Slides.
