The Rabjohns were scissors manufacturers. Elijah Rabjohn, who was born in about 1821, worked in Furnace Hill (1852), Peel Street (1856), and Cross Smithfield (1862-79).  His son, Thomas Rabjohn (1841-1912), was in Jericho Street in 1865, when he made a £26 5s [25p] claim for damages from the Sheffield Flood.  He later worked in the Scotland Street/Leicester Street area. By 1879, his address was New Edward Street, where he manufactured scissors and was a shopkeeper and beer retailer.  Elijah died in Morecambe on 2 September 1881, aged 60. 

Thomas Rabjohn remained in New Edward Street, until about 1893 when he moved to the back of Weston Street. In 1901, he was living in Mushroom Lane and had a son named Thomas, who was a scissors forger and putter-together. The father died on 27 April 1912, aged 71, leaving £115.  He was buried in the General Cemetery. Thomas Rabjohn Jun. (1866-1925) was at Weston Street until 1919, when the company ceased trading.
