 I`m trying to find out if William Law,Silver Plater,had a business in Sheffield?

 Making a guess that William Law,being a Silver Plater and the owner of properties in Bradway and Greenhill would be in Business,most probably in Sheffield?

Any info about William Law or his business would be most appreciated.

Try the reference section of Sheffield City Library. They have business directories that date back to this period.

Just a possibility, Atkin Brothers and their predecessors, owts better than nowt ....

John Law (& Sons) 1775-1824
"The business was continued by his sons John and William, and later by Joseph Law (probably the son of John, as in an 1830 directory he is quoted as "Joseph Law, late John Law & Son")."

Thanks for your input Guys,I found this little snippet about William Law on the River Sheaf website.  http://www.riversheaf.org/sheafrwp/?page_id=564

In 1814 William Law was in partnership with Joseph and Samuel Ward at the Pond Tilt,this ties in with your info on William Law.

This Fairbanks map of Greenhill in 1805 shows the two properties in the ownership of William Law, both still homes to this day,as are most of the properties shown on the map.

No32 is the White Hart Pub, No22 is the White Swan.
