PopT Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Shogun Just as a matter of interest, I am currently researching a family who were edge tool makers in Sheffield from the 1560's onwards. They were recorded as Sissersmiths engaged in forging shear,plough and knife blades. This term was used as far back as the Middle Ages. I have put a post on here trying to find out where they lived and worked in Sheffield in the 1700's, in the records it states the area as 'Ead'. I hope this of interest to you. Happy Days!

Popt From what I can make out edge tools was things like sorry I cant spell it, {what the grim reaper used}this sharpening of these tools was a skill then.Most of the people of Sheffield are from all the small villages from the country attracted here by the work in the steel works,my Family hail back to a village called Nessington in Northampton.
