When was John born?
he may have been with father in 1841?

Don't know what a scalecutter did
There is an occupation "Scaleraker"-one employed by the parish to clean the streets

HI Suz
I'm afraid I dont know that either.If he married 1849 and was about 20,his birth date would be roughly1829.
Thank you

Who did John marry -maybe we can get his date and p.o.b. from 1851 census?

Do you have the marriage cert?

Scales are the decorative side panels of knives, especially pen-knives. Scale cutting and scale pressing were very common occupations in the Sheffield area. The following link (which I think I found on this site) has excellent information about scales:
