my Great Aunt and uncle were Lillian (Lil) and Clarence

The only cutlery firm I can remember is Cooper Ludlum, it wouldn't take much to research this firm. Sheffy? What's that supposed to mean the names SHEFFIELD.

The Crookes Working Mens Club on Mule House Rd, has a bowling green at the front,and red brick terraced housing nearby.

 

Your reference to Little Mesters, and Rivelin valley could possibly play a part of your family history. As several small works existed in Rivelin valley making use of the river to drive water wheels to drive hammers,and grind stones.
