This fine scissors maker was listed in the Sheffield directory (1787) at China [Cheney] Square, near St Paul’s Church, using the trade mark ‘BATH’.  This was apparently Emmanuel Colley (bapt. 1744-1813).   The apprenticeship records of the Company of Cutlers suggest that his father was Emanuel [sic] and he was apprenticed to scissorsmith John Hinchliffe.  He became a Freeman in 1771; and married Ann Hawksley in 1775.  Other evidence suggests that Emmanuel was the son of Thomas – a Sheffield cutler, who eventually launched Colley & Hargreaves – and born at Womersley, near Pontefract.  Emmanuel and Ann had two sons:  Emmanuel (who was buried at the parish church in 1785) and John Hinchliffe Colley (1791-1883).  They also had a daughter, Ann (1780-1800).  Emmanuel took on as apprentices members of the Sharp and Hawksley families (see John Sharpe & Co).  Emmanuel filed for insolvency in 1791.  He was buried at St Paul’s churchyard on 10 December 1813, aged 69.
