Frederick C. Harrison (1830-1895) was the son of Thomas Harrison (c.1800-1854), a cutler, and his wife, Mary (c.1797-1867).  In 1841, they were living in Edgerton Street.  Thomas Harrison, table knife and pressed-wood handle manufacturer, Fitzwilliam Street, died on 18 February 1854 (aged 54) from ‘dropsy’.  He was buried in the General Cemetery.  A month later, his stock-in-trade was sold at Cavendish Works, Broomspring Lane (Sheffield Independent, 11 March 1854).  By 1851, Frederick was a table knife cutler living at the home of Samuel Hague and his wife, Ann.  The Census recorded Frederick’s status as apparently ‘nephew’.  In the early 1850s, Frederick formed Harrison Bros (with siblings William and Thomas), a manufacturer of table cutlery and joiners’ tools at Furnival Lane.  Thomas withdrew in 1855 – when the address was Pacific Works, Union Lane.  In 1857, the remaining brothers became insolvent. 

By the late 1860s, Frederick occupied an office in Trafalgar Works, Trafalgar Street.  He sold table cutlery and boy’s and gentlemen’s tool chests.  He was also agent for J. Wingaard & Co.  In the 1870s, he apparently ceased trading in his own right, because by 1879 his ‘469’ trade mark had been acquired by Theodor W. Petersen.  In the Census (1891), Harrison was living in Broomhall Street and working as a cutlery manager.  Frederick Charles Harrison, ‘manufacturer’, died on 27 November 1895, aged 65.  He left £228 and was buried in the General Cemetery’s unconsecrated section.  His wife, Elizabeth, died in 1907 (aged 78).  They lost at least four children in infancy.  Also buried in the same grave was William Harrison, Mushroom Lane, who died on 20 April 1894 (aged 66).  He was probably Frederick’s brother.
