George Charlesworth (c.1822-1869) was a Sheffield-born spoon manufacturer.  In 1842, he married Elizabeth Hulley and by the late 1840s was listed as a metal spoon manufacturer in a courtyard in Thomas Street.  He moved to Westbar, then Suffolk Street (where he employed ten men in 1861), and finally Meadow Street.  After the Sheffield Flood, in 1865 he was awarded £7 4s 5d for damage to a garden in Neepsend.   In 1867, he advertised in a Birmingham directory.   His address, 42 Meadow Street, was also the location of the Sheffield Arms, where Charlesworth was the publican (probably helped by Elizabeth).  He died there on 7 November 1869, aged 42, and was buried in the General Cemetery.   He left effects under £300.  Elizabeth operated the pub after her husband’s death.  She apparently married another publican, John Irwin, and ended her days in Ecclesall Union (workhouse).  She died in 1905, aged 82.   The ‘CHARLO’ mark, which had a picture of a spoon and was later owned by Charles Ibbotson, may have originated with Charlesworth.
