In the Census (1841), Charles Vaughan was a 76-year-old cutler, living in Trinity Street, close to the factory where he worked: George Butler & Co.  The local press noted his death on 12 February 1847 (aged 80), ‘after a protracted illness’.  He had worked for the company:

upwards of 40 years, during which time he maintained a character for integrity unimpeachable, and was deservedly respected and esteemed by his fellow workmen and employers.  The above, with Joseph Shirt and John Manuel, have died within eighteen months, the latter of whom was in [Butler’s] service upwards of 60 years.  Their united years … amount to 150 years.  Three respected and faithful servants (Sheffield Independent, 13 February 1847).
