Jonathan Hayne (1810 - 1848) was born in Clerkenwell, London, son of a surgeon. He apprenticed as a silversmith and started his career in 1810, entering his mark in partnership with Thomas Wallis, at 16 Red Lion Street, Clerkenwell. Six years later, Wallis and Hayne dissolved their partnership. In 1821, Jonathan entered his own first mark.

In 1833, Hayne increased his popularity, patenting a method of manufacturing silver spoons and cutlery in a single blow thanks to a heavy hammer. This method was illustrated in 1839 in "A Dictionary of Arts, Manufactures, and Mines" by Andrew Ure.

In 1836, Jonathan Hayne’s son, Samuel, went into partnership with Dudley Frank Cater and they entered their mark as Hayne &amp; Cater. Samuel assumed the full control of the company after his father’s death in 1848 and continued trading until 1865, when he declared bankruptcy.

Richard Crossley was arguably one of the most important manufacturers of flatware in the late 18th and early 19th century. Unfortunately, very little is known about him.

He says: "I desire that my body may be buried at Wooburn in the County of Bucks near to the remains of my first wife and daughter, and that my funeral be organised in such manner as my trustees and executors hereinafter appointed shall think proper". The inscription on his tomb says: “Sacred to the memory of Richard Crossley of Paradise House Islington, in the county of Middlesex, and formerly of London, Goldsmith."

Information from the Buckinghamshire Record Office provided the following from a full transcript made of the tombs in Woburn Church Yard in the first half of the 19th century: “Richard Crossley Esq late of paradise House Islington in the parish of Middlesex and formerly of London Goldsmith, the third son of John Crossley of Hilton in the County of Derby who by Persevering Industry with the Strictest Integrity realised considerable Property which he bequeathed amongst his collateral relations and departed this life a Widower without leaving any Issue Surviving him on the 29th day of April 1815, aged 75 years."
