Hello Trev,
The Sheffield Assay Office register shows all but James Almond, Beldon Hoyland & Co, Daniel Bradbury, Abraham Cosins, William Green & Co, Joseph Hancock, Thomas Hufton and Joseph Salthouse entered a mark. Doliff Rollisson left it until 1790.
Beldon Hoyland & Co may be successors to John Hoyland & Co who registered in 1773 and Abraham Cosins successor to Isaac Cosins who registered in 1774.
Of the others George Ashforth, Matthew Fenton & Richard Creswick, Thomas Law, Samuel Roberts, Charles & Luke Proctor and Henry Tudor & Thomas Leader all registered in 1773 the first year Sheffield AO was open for business.
