In 1911, John Arthur Marshall (1881-1972) was living in Richards Road, with his wife, Emma, and two daughters.  He was a scissors ‘putter-together’.  He had been born in 1881 in Sheffield, the son of John Henry Marshall, a scissors smith, and his wife, Mary Elizabeth.  By 1919, John Arthur had launched a scissors business, with his address as Mount View Road, Norton Woodseats.  By 1922, he had a workshop in Cambridge Street.  By the late 1930s, Marshall had moved to Emu Works, Matilda and Eyre Street.  In the trade directory, he offered various specialities, including surgical scissors.  In 1939, he still lived at Mount View Road and described himself as a ‘master scissors manufacturer’; his wife, Emma, was a manageress – perhaps in the business (Register of England & Wales, 1939).  After the war, he again operated from Mount View Road.  His last address in the 1950s was Providence Works, Gell Street, but he apparently ceased trading at the end of that decade.  He died on 11 December 1972, when he was living at Chapel Close, Alvingham, Louth, in Lincolnshire.   He left £568.
