Hello,
I am also related to William Branthwaite through his daughter Sarah Branthwaite Russell born 1857. I have been researching the family and have information to share. I have been unable to find any information about Maybank tea but do have information about him and his family.
Are you the grandson of Joseph Gibson Branthwaite who died off the Australian coast in 1919?

Hello Brenda.

I have just had reason to go through my Branthwaite records and I have found your reply to my message posted in 2003!. I do not recall ever seeing this so I must have missed it somehow. If you read this please accept my apologies for my carelessness

and I would be very pleased if we could swap information. In answer to your question, yes, I am a grandson of Joseph Gibson Branthwaite.

My Great Grandfather, William Branthwaite born 1827, was a tea blender
in Liverpool. He imported tea from the Far East. His tea, which was
sold
across England and Scotland, may have been called Maybank. Does anybody know of this blend of tea or have any information about it?.
