Geschiedenis
John Bridgman (1766-[1804]) was the fourth child of Richard Bridgman (1731-70), a tea dealer from Aldgate, and Sarah, his wife. He became free of the Grocers' Company (by patrimony) in 1787. His brother Richard Whalley Bridgman (1762-1849) became clerk of the Grocers' Company. He set up in business with his brother William Bridgman (b 1767, free of the Grocers' in 1790) at 24 Austin Friars in 1792. By 1794 they were trading as Bridgman, Combes and Bridgman. The firm moved to 29 Throgmorton Street in 1794, to 36 Old Jewry, 1795-7, and 9 Finch Lane, Cornhill, 1797 (previously the address of Bridgman and Stuart, merchants).
From 1 March 1797 John Bridgman traded alone as a West India merchant from 80 Hatton Garden, moving to 83 Hatton Garden in 1800, and to Church Court, Lothbury in 1803. He is not listed in the directories after 1803.
