Thomas Marriott jointed his father's firm in 1790 in the partnership W & T M Bardin and in about 1798 the globe production was extended to include 18-inch terrestrial and celestial globes. These New British globes were subsequently sold by S S Etkins, T M Bardin's son in law following his death in 1819.
