cf. Thomas Farrell: In a pickle: Holbrook’s of Birmingham (22 July 2015):

“John Tompson (born 1812) was a wealthy maltster, and he was joined by his son, John Leslie Tompson (1841–1901). [...] In 1878 John Tompson retired, and left the business in the control of John Leslie Tompson and Carne Rasch. In 1879 the company was converted into a limited liability company called the Birmingham Vinegar Brewery. It had a nominal capital of £100,000. John Leslie Tompson was appointed as managing director. By the 1880s a considerable export trade had been developed in Australia. In 1884, due to a series of unfortunate personal investments, John Leslie Tompson was declared bankrupt. [...] John Leslie Tompson died in 1901 due to an accidental overdose of sleeping pills.”
