HERBERT, James (1829-1903) — London
Lithographer. Produced John Hobbs, Plan of London 1862.
Born in London 20 Aug 1829 and baptised at St. Leonard Shoreditch, 22 Nov 1829, the son of Philip Herbert (1800?-1850), a clerk, and his second wife Helen Cattrell (1811?-1861), who had married in 1828. He married Ellen Martha Boteler (1832-1885) at Walton on the Hill, Liverpool, 2 May 1853, and a son was born there, before the family returned to London. Originally a law stationer, and generally so described, but recorded as a lithographic artist on the 1881 census, Herbert reported as married but alone in the household on that evening, his wife and family seemingly living apart in Southwark. By 1891 he had become a widower, now recorded as a lithographic writer, boarding in Hackney. He had retired by 1901 and died 13 Aug 1903 at Clacton-on-Sea. Probate on effects of £377. 7s. 1d. was granted to his son Horace Herbert (1870-1925) 5 Sep 1903.
