southside Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I`m trying to find out if William Law,Silver Plater,had a business in Sheffield?

Old rider Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Try the reference section of Sheffield City Library. They have business directories that date back to this period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southside Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
