Histórico
The Favell family seem to have a long history as painters and glaziers in Cambridge.
In the Magdalene Archives there are receipts from John Favell, painter (c. 1781-1812).
According to the Jesus College Archives:
Elizabeth Favell (d. 1840) was a widow who ran a decorating firm under the name Elizabeth Favell and Son. She lived in Petty Cury, Cambridge, and had at least four children: Edward, James, Samuel, Thomas and Mary. She was already a widow when, in 1809, the Norfolk Chronicle reported that she and James Favell 'painters' had filed for bankruptcy. In 1813, the Prince Regent granted her a pension of £40p/a following the death of her son, Captain Samuel Favell, at the Battle of Salamanca in 1812. She also lost another son, Lieutenant Thomas Favell, during the Siege of Cadiz. By the 1830s, she was running the business with her son Edward and his signature features on many of the receipts. (Norfolk Chronicle, Saturday 21 October 1809, p. 2; Will of Elizabeth Favell, 1840, National Archives, PROB/11/1936/73; Norfolk Chronicle, Saturday 29 August 1812, p. 4; Bury and Norwich Post, Wednesday 3 February 1813, p. 2; Sussex Advertiser, Monday 8 February 1813, p. 4).
In April 1854 Edward Favell went into partnership with Robert Ellis to found the company Favell & Ellis.
Robert's son Augustus Ellis (1836-1912) worked in the business and it was later known as Favell, Ellis & Sons and then Favell, Ellis & Kirkman.
They had offices at 5 St Andrews Street.
MCAC/2/2/8 is an account book with Favell, Ellis & Sons between 1906 and 1912
In the 1914 trade directory the company is listed as Favell, Ellis & Kirkman
