Thomas Naylor (c.1811-1887) was a cutlery manufacturer and dealer, who was first listed in Westbar in 1833. In the Census, he usually described himself as a scissors manufacturer. He advertised in Slater’s National and Commercial Directory of Ireland (1846), when he was working in Snighill and living in Pitsmoor. Thomas and his wife Mary and their eleven children were enumerated in 1851 at a house in Gray Street. By 1868, when he advertised guns and pistols, besides cutlery, he was again in Westbar. Mary Naylor died ‘suddenly’ on 10 December 1878, aged 66. Thomas Naylor, ‘gentleman’, Gray Street, died on 22 August 1887, aged 76. He left £393 and was buried in Burngreave (the burial register described him as a gunsmith).
