John Julian (c.1827-1888) was born in Brampton, Chesterfield, the son of Henry Julian, a caster, and his wife Mary.  They were living in Dronfield in 1841.  In 1860, John Julian advertised at Bath Street Works.   He specialised in castings for knives, forks, scissors, and hammers; and in 1861 employed four men, five boys, and three sons.  In 1878, Rawson Bros took him to court for illegally using its mark (Sheffield Independent, 20 April 1878).  He was fined a shilling (5p) and several guineas in costs.  His last business address was Rockingham Lane.  John Julian died at Court 11, Headford Street, on 3 March 1888, aged 61.  He was buried in the General Cemetery.  His wife, Lydia, died in Bath Street in 1860, aged 32.
