Benjamin & Joseph Broomhead
Benjamin Broomhead (bapt.1829-1795) and Joseph Broomhead (c.1741-c.1802) were the sons of Henry Broomhead, a cutler, and Hannah née Nawe. Their younger brother was Samuel (see Broomhead & Ward). Benjamin’s and Joseph’s first appearance in a Sheffield directory was in 1774 as a factor and manufacturer of cutlery wares (especially table knives) in Fargate. The mark was a group of symbols, with the letters ‘BHY’. In 1784, Benjamin became Master Cutler. ....
