William Alfred Edley (1892-1934?) was living with his uncle, Joseph Edley, in Melbourne Road, when the Census (1901) was taken.  By the end of the First World War, when he advertised in Wilson & Twigg (1919), William A. Edley had formed his own cutlery company at Replenish Works, Upper St Philips Road.  A range of cutlery was offered, especially scissors, in which Edley claimed the largest output in the British Empire.  The firm was almost immediately bankrupt, with £4,767 debts.  A list of reasons was advanced: extensive alterations to the premises, a loss on the working of a scissors patent, losses due to the Belgian trade, family sickness, and shortage of capital (Sheffield Daily Telegraph, 29 November 1920).  The firm was refloated in 1922 as a limited company (capital £2,500) at Replenish Works, Egerton Street (and then later in Fitzwilliam Street).  It ceased trading during the early 1930s, when Edley apparently died.
