Harry Everingham had come to Rushden in 1896 from Spalding LIN, and was working as a draper on his own account. He was in a joint venture as Everingham & King, drapers, at 40 High Street in 1898. In 1901 he was aged 35 and a boarder at 16 Griffith Street.
He returned to Spalding in 1901 where he married Mary Ann Healey, and the following year their son Harry was Christened at St Mary's Church in Rushden.
In 1901 they lost the shop in the disastrous fire, and the partnership was dissolved. By 1903 he was trading under his own name at 52 High Street, a property in Lion Terrace.

Then in 1907 trade difficulties saw him attending the bankruptcy court.
The shop front (above) uncovered in 1989 shows the name A Everingham, Milliner, Ladies & Children's Outfitters, so Harry seems to have continued alongside his wife as these adverts appeared in the Rushden Echo.
