Robert William Handley (1843-1909) was born in Sheffield, the son of Charles Handley, a silversmith, and his wife Mary.   Robert was trained as a scissors forger and in 1873 rented a dwelling house / warehouse / workshop at 127-129 Scotland Street, where he launched a business as a scissors manufacturer.  When the ownership of the premises changed hands, Handley was forced out in December 1877 (though it took a court case by the owner to achieve that).  In 1878, Robert began trading as ‘Robert Handley’ at the back of Edward Street, but almost immediately became insolvent with debts of £250.  However, he continued to trade in Edward Street into the first decade of the twentieth century.  By the mid-1890s, he had acquired the ‘LUZ’ mark of Braithwaite.   Robert William Handley, School Road, died on 4 November 1909, aged 66.  He left £239.   ‘Robert William Handley’ thereafter appeared in Sheffield directories at Vine Works, St Philips Road.  This was the address of W. J. Ramsbottom, which may have acquired the Handley name and ‘LUZ’ mark.
