William Styring (c.1751-1831) and Joseph Hadfield (c.1749-1836) were in partnership with Joseph Harrison, making pen knives and razors, but this was dissolved in 1811.  Henceforth, Styring & Hatfield was listed in directories as a razor manufacturer in Cross Smithfield.  The partnership was dissolved in 1827, when they were both old men.  However, their names remained listed in directories in Cross Smithfield: William as a grocer and Joseph as a shopkeeper and razor and pen knife manufacturer.  William Styring died on 2 June 1831, aged 80, and was buried in St Peter & St Paul churchyard.  His wife, Ann, had died in 1825, aged 61.   Joseph Hadfield died in 1836, aged 87.  His death ‘a few days ago’ was reported by The Sheffield Independent, 19 February 1836.  Presumably, the Styrings and Hadfields were linked by marriage.  John Styring Hadfield was born on 14 May 1818, the son of Joseph (a cutler) and Ann.  The latter died on 23 May 1860, aged 73, and was buried in the General Cemetery.  Perhaps Ann was the daughter of William Styring and married Joseph Hadfield (though the difference in ages is considerable).   John Styring Hadfield became a partner in Sarah Wells & Sons.
