Early life and family.
William Charles Kernot, eldest son of Charles Kernot, chemist, formerly member of the Victorian Legislative Assembly for Geelong, was born at Rochford, Essex, England. Kernot migrated to Australia with his family in 1851 and was educated at the National Grammar School, Geelong, and matriculated
Tate Gallery, London. The paper was of a very high standard and the watercolour boards were made without being pasted together which ensured they remained free from mildew; however, despite the early success of the business, it failed in 1834
. The premises were then sold to wholesale stationer William Jennings Allen (1807 – 1839)
. After his death it was sold to Charles Middleton Kernot (1807 – 1876) to be used as a ‘manufactory of patent interlocked and dovetailed felted cloths’
