This enterprise advertised in the 1868 directory as a manufacturer of saws, files, edge tools, and scissors, table cutlery, pen and pocket knives, electro-plate, Britannia metal, and general merchants.  The address was Duke Place Works, St Mary’s Road.  One partner was John William Stansfield.  The other was Charles Truman Stansfield, living at Yarra House, Cemetery Road.  He was born in Leeds in about 1832 and appears to have started his career as a commercial traveller in Sheffield.  The ‘T’ in his name is confusingly written in various sources as Turner, Trummer, Trimmer, and Truman.  By 1861, he was enumerated in the Census as a saw and machine-knife manufacturer, employing eight men.  His enterprise was Stansfield & Lowe, which after 1865 became Stansfield Bros.  The firm was declared bankrupt in 1868 (the year it advertised).  Charles T. Stansfield, merchant, New Porter Street, died on 30 January 1870 and was buried in an unconsecrated grave in the General Cemetery.  He was aged only 37.  Three of Stansfield’s sons died prematurely, too (one only a fortnight after his father).
