G. A. Green & Company Ltd
In 1904, George Alfred Green (1855-1928), a silver chaser, incorporated silversmiths G. A. Green & Co Ltd (capital £5,000). He registered a silver mark from No.108 Rockingham Street. In 1907, however, Green was bankrupt with £7,000 liabilities and charged with fraud – a charge later dismissed (Sheffield Daily Telegraph, 19, 20 December 1907). The Census (1911) enumerated him as a silversmith and ‘employer’ at Manchester Road, living with his wife, Amy, and son, George Ebenezer. Directories subsequently listed George Ebenezer as a silver chaser in Arundel Lane, but did not list his father.
