| | About the Victoria County History |
 | | [2] The Pease family was involved in banking activity by 1765, with Joseph Pease (1737-1808), later joined by his son Edward (1767-1858), lending money as a sideline to trading in worsteds. |
| | Jonathan Backhouse, who was married to Ann, daughter of Edward Pease, and thus a brother-in-law of Joseph Pease, had become senior partner of the bank in 1802 after his father's death and brother's retirement. |
| | The worsted manufacturers Edward and Joseph Pease in 1813 set up and contributed towards a Woolcombers' Sick Association, which entitled subscribers to a weekly payment when they were ill. [144] There was also a short-lived scheme for women and children, wound up in 1817. |
