Braithwaite cutlery

Surnames: Braithwaite, Johnson, Deakin
Has anyone information on the small Sheffield scissor/cutlery making company owned by my Gt Grandfather Charles Braithwaite in the mid to late 1800s? It was still running in 1884, the year before his death, but I have no data on its scope or indeed what eventually happened to it. Charles was born in Rotherham in about 1815. He married widow Ann Johnson, who already had three children. His son by Ann, Charles Frederick Braithwaite, became a Methodist minister. His daughter Annie married Charles Deakin.
