This partnership was listed in 1868 as an electro-plater and razor manufacturer in Howard Street.  The partners were John Stacey, who lived in Fulwood, and James Huggart Bourne, who lived in Thirwell Road, Heeley.  No details have been found on Stacey, but Bourne was a ‘master electroplater’, who had been born in King’s Heath, Worcester, in about 1832.  By 1871, Stacey & Bourne was an electroplater and gilder in Howard Street and Eyre Lane.  According to James Bourne, the firm employed three men, one boy, and three girls.  In 1871, however, the partnership ended.  Bourne died on 8 November 1874, aged 42, and was buried in Christ’s churchyard, Heeley.  He left under £800.  The partnership ceased trading, though at least one of James’s sons – William Henry Bourne – continued as an electro-plater and gilder.  In 1881, he employed three men, four boys, and five girls.  He was listed until about 1902.
