John Fox / Charles Fox
This branch of the Fox family came from Attercliffe, where its members were involved in cutlery and fork manufacture. Several generations of Fox cutlers – usually named John – can be traced in the apprenticeship records of the Company of Cutlers. John, a cutler at Attercliffe, was granted his Freedom in 1732. His son was apparently John Fox (c.1735-1820), who was probably the Attercliffe fork maker who appeared in the Sheffield directory of 1787. His son was also named John Fox (1763-1825)....
