Maria Ustonson
Maria Ustonson was the daughter-in-law of Onesimus Ustonson, founder of the London-based fishing tackle maker, Ustonson. She was married to his third son, Charles Ustonson (1775-1822), who took over the business in 1815, but when he died in 1822, his widow Maria Ustonson took over.[1]
Under Maria, Ustonson received a Royal Warrant from three successive monarchs starting with King George IV.[2]
In 1830, she married the portrait painter William Armfield Hobday, and after his death in 1831, married Robert Joy in 1833.[1]
