Patrick King came from a family of Irish weavers and spinners. Ireland in the mid-1800s was rife with extreme poverty and malnutrition, and even the weaving trade was no exception.

In 1873 the family decided to leave Ireland their home in search of something better than they had known all their lives and settled in Glasgow, Scotland.
