John Murfin
In about 1830, John Murfin and his partner William Sanderson were active as fork manufacturers at Backfields. In that year, Sanderson & Murfin was fined £10 for paying wages in goods instead of money (Leeds Intelligencer, 13 May 1830). Murfin’s previous life is obscure. However, he may have been born in Ecclesfield (the son of Benjamin) and baptised on 28 June 1801. John Murfin appeared in the Sheffield directory (1828) as a tailor and clothes dealer at Bailey Street. ....
