Engraved image of James Stedman’s sweets shop at 436 George Street, now part of the site of the Myer store in George Street.
James Stedman (1840-1913), confectionery manufacturer, was born on 25 December 1840 at Parramatta, New South Wales, son of Henry Stedman (d.1893), servant, and his wife Catherine, née Murphy. James attended a private school at Brisbane Water, started work in a butcher’s shop and at 14 joined William J. Cates, a Sydney confectioner whose business at 436 George Street was taken over by Wright & Smith in the early 1860s. At Christ Church St Laurence, Stedman married Margaret Noble on 14 February 1860. After John Smith sold out, Stedman worked as foreman for John M. Wright for twelve years and bought the business in 1875.
