  William Robert Renshaw - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Robert Renshaw (1845 - 1923), was born to an agricultural family in Handforth in the county of Cheshire, England.
In 1880 he was in business with his own foundry, the Victoria Works in Tunstall, where he produced equipment for collieries, forges and mills, before returning to Kidsgrove to acquire the Union Foundry as a member of a partnership known as Renshaw, King and Company.
He later moved to the Phoenix Works at Cliffe Vale, where electrical and railway equipment was manufactured and where specialist railway carriages and wagons were built for use by the Barnum and Bailey Circus, (see Phineas Taylor Barnum) during its tour of Britain and Europe which began in 1886.

 William Charles Renshaw, 1983 Enshrinee: International Tennis Hall of Fame   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Not only did William Charles Renshaw, a forceful right-handed aggressor, win an unequaled six straight Wimbledons from 1881, wresting the title from John Hartley, 6-0, 6-2, 6-1, but he added a record seventh title in 1889, defeating older (by 15 minutes) brother, Ernest Renshaw, in the title round, 6-4, 6-1, 3-6, 6-0.
The offense-minded Renshaws played doubles as never before, rushing the net and volleying more frequently and effectively than their predecessors, helped by the lowering of the net to its present three feet in 1882.
The Renshaws seemed to be the first to take the game really seriously playing a full English summer schedule, and then competing on the Riviera during the winter, building a court at Cannes in 1880.
