He was son of Robert Inman, merchant of Lancaster, and his first wife Anne Salisbury, daughter of Thomas Salisbury of Kirkham; and grandson of the slave-trader Charles Inman (1725–1767).[2][3]
Inman was apprenticed to his cousin, a cotton broker in Liverpool.[4] The cotton merchants traded as Swainson & Inman in the 1820s.[5] The partnership of Charles Inman and Anthony Swainson was dissolved in 1831.[6] Anthony Swainson (born 1782) was brother to Charles Swainson of Preston, and their mother was Susannah Inman, daughter of Charles Inman the elder.[7]
In 1818 Inman left Liverpool for Leicester: he was one of three partners who put in capital from 1817 to re-finance the Pickfords firm of carriers.[8] One of the other partners was Joseph Baxendale. From 1809 he had been a partner in the Bannister Hall company headed by Charles Swainson.[9] With Inman at Leicester, the other management was Matthew Pickford and Baxendale in Manchester, and Zachary Langton in London.[10] Over time Baxendale bought out Inman and Langton, obtaining complete control in 1847.[9] On withdrawing from Pickfords, in 1838 over Sabbatarian concerns, Inman returned to Liverpool.[11][12]
A director of the Bank of Liverpool, Inman was first on the board in 1838. He then served from 1840 to 1858, in parallel with Adam Hodgson who outlived him.[13][14]
Later in life, Inman moved from Netherfield Road, Everton, to Spital Hall, Bebington, in the Wirral. He died there on 11 November 1858.[2] His funeral service was given by the Rev. Edward Hatch Hoare of Barkby, an associate from the Church Missionary Society in Leicester. He was buried in Bebington churchyard.[15][16] The site of the large Netherfield Road house was put to use with the Institution for Infectious Diseases. It was a hospital, having some finance from Liverpool Town Council to fulfil the terms of the 1866 Contagious Diseases Act.[17][18]
Family
Inman married in 1817 Jane Clay, daughter of Thomas Clay of Liverpool;[19] her sister Mary married Anthony Swainson.[7] They had eight children, including Thomas Inman, the second son, and William Inman.[4][20]
Jane Inman died in 1865 at Spital Hall, at age 72.[25]
Legacy
St Peter's Church, Everton, after a drawing by John Hay
St Peter's Church, Sackville Street, Everton (Church of England) was completed in 1849.[26] Inman donated the land, laid the foundation stone in a ceremony where the architect Mr Hay (of Hay of Liverpool) showed the plans, and gave much of the building cost.[27][28] His daughter Elizabeth's marriage took place there, in 1852.[29]
