In 1798, Richard Jewesson (or Jewisson), a plate worker in Campo Lane, registered a silver mark with George Ashforth and George Frost.  Jewesson registered a mark alone from Milk Street in 1800 (the same year that a partnership with Isaac Bunting and Samuel Turner was dissolved).  He next partnered William Lomas as a table knife manufacturer until 1817, when Richard Jewesson & Co was established in Eyre Street.  By 1825, the firm apparently became R. Jewesson & Son, table knife manufacturer and dealer in cutlery, 42 Howard Street.   Richard Jewesson, ‘merchant’, Howard Street, died on 13 September 1830 (age unknown).  Mrs Jewesson, ‘relict’, died in Norwood, near London, on 28 July 1835 (aged 62).  Jewesson & Battie next appeared, with Richard Jewesson – perhaps the son of Richard Sen. – and Alfred Goodall Battie (1791-1877) as partners.  The latter had originally followed his father’s trade as a cooper.  In 1836, this firm – based in Townhead Street, Sheffield, and Fenchurch Street, London – was dissolved.  In the following year, Richard Jewesson was bankrupt.  Battie later worked as a brewery clerk.  He died in London on 12 September 1877, aged 85, and was buried at Norwood.
