He married Mary Duncroft and became the proprietor of first a calico-printing works at Reddish and then a chemical works at Altham in Lancashire. The couple had fifteen children. The eldest, Lydia Becker was born in the Manchester area in 1827 and was soon joined by the surviving siblings Mary, Esther, Edward, Wilfred, Arthur, John and Charles.
