About Charles Magniac
Son of Colonel Francis Magniac and Frances Attwood. His father was a French Huguenot goldsmith who exported clocks and watches to China.In order to keep an eye on his business interests there, he dispatched his son Charles to Canton where he went into partnership with Daniel Beale, an experienced China merchant, forming Beale, Magniac & Co. sometime before 1814... Becoming Magniac & Co. after the retirement of Thomas Beale in 1814, the firm under Charles grew into one of the largest and most prominent of all the China trading houses. After Charles' death in 1824, the firm was taken over by his brother Daniel who was subsequently forced to resign after he married his Chinese mistress and brought the family into disrepute... Charles was killed in Paris in 1824 during a trip to Europe. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollingworth_Magniac
