The partners of Robinson, Kirkham & Co. were Joseph Robinson, Samuel Kirkham, and John William Hollinshead. In September 1872 Samuel Kirkham retired from the business and the partnership continued with Robinson & Hollinshead. It is likely that J. W. Hollinshead and S. Kirkham were also in partnership together as Hollinshead & Kirkham.
