I'm glad you found something useful in the list Kim :) Cutlers had a hard time really - premature deaths could be caused by the dust of the metal (and bone/horn of handles) getting into the lungs. Many of these workers didn't cover their mouths sufficiently to stop the dust getting into their lungs - but it caused damage to the eyes too - and the nasal passages. Men would come home coughing up blackened mucus, and tears and sweat would be tinged with the metallic dust... in some industries even today this happens. There have been some research into the diseases connected to cutlers... I was quite surprised at how dangerous it could be. |

Don't know if this is of any help... but thought the name truelove was so sweet, had to do a search offline: Sheffield, 1893... Truelove, Arthr. brass & german silver founder. 111 carver st. TrueloveDavid. corkscrew manufr. Eye Witness works. Milton st. Truelove, Elijah. Corkscrew manufacturer. 24 Lambert st. The other (few) Truelove's are a school mistress and a school master (listed seperately), an upholsterer, and a stationer. If you'd like details on these, just ask :) |

Kim... have sent several e-mails with info... but also have a site here for the WHITES DIRECTORY...Sheffield, 1901 (it's a trade directory online, fully searchable). http://www.historicaldirectories.org/hd/c.asp?ZyActionD=ZyDocument&Client=Test+Web+Site&Index=Historical%20Directories&UseQField=County&QField=County^Yorkshire&Query=&File=E%3A%5CZYIMAGE%5CDATA%5CHISTDIR%5CTXT%5C00000000%5C0000CNHG.txt&User=anonymous&Password=anonymous&SortMethod=f%3Ah&MaximumDocuments=10&FuzzyDegree=0&ImageQuality=r80g5/r80g5/x150y150g5/i500&Display=hpfr&DefSeekPage=f&Back=ZyActionS&BackDesc=Results%20page&MaximumPages=1&ZyEntry=1&SeekPage=f&id=0000CNHG.txt and if that didn't turn out... go to historicaldirectories.org and search for directories by place - Yorkshire. Think its the last directory listed on page. |
