    Isaac is probably the best-known member of the Pimblott family. He founded Pimblott's boatyard on the River Weaver in Northwich. Here is a summary of his life from the cheshiremagazine website:
    
    I would be interested to find out the history of the Pimblott's Shipyard that was based in Northwich, on the River Weaver. My great grandmother was a member of the Pimblott family, but rejected by them for marrying someone they disapproved of. I am very curious as to the history of the family. Do you have any information?
    
    Editor's Note: On this one we can help: Pimblott's Shipyard was established by Isaac Pimblott around 1870/80. He was born in 1844 into a humble family in New Street, Northwich and from the age of nine worked in a rope-making establishment. Later he was employed at a local salt works and then joined the firm of heavy engineers, Joseph Parks, Northwich, as a boilermaker. At nineteen he moved to Liverpool, to work in the shipyards of Messrs Vernon and others. Upon returning to Northwich he set up Pimblott's Shipyard, originally on a site near to the town's Hayhurst Bridge. The firm moved from here in 1906, to a yard upstream from Hunt's Lock. The firm ceased trading in 1971 and the yard is now a marina. Isaac Pimblott was immensely proud of the fact that he built the first Northwich steamer to cross the Atlantic, to South America. He died in 1909.
