This silver plater was listed in 1825 in Silver Street.  The partners were John Ashforth, Joseph Cutts, and Thomas Anderton, who registered a silver mark in June 1825.  They advertised in the directory.  John Hartshorn became involved, though Cutts withdrew in November 1825.  Ashforth and Hartshorn registered a silver mark in February 1826.  By October, Ashforth, [Richard] Creswick & Co had registered at the Sheffield Assay Office (though no mark was recorded).  In 1828, the last directory listing was Ashforth, Creswick & Hartshorn, silver platers, Silver Street.  This partnership, which also included Henry Woolhouse, ended in 1829.    Ashforth, Creswick, and Cutts apparently continued to work individually as silversmiths.
