George Ellis

George Ellis (1863–1944) was a British silversmith, based in Sheffield, England.

In 1895, when he was around 32 years old, he began working from a workshop in Court 12, 16 John Street, near London Road in Sheffield. The address was occupied by several other craftsmen, including a "scissor smith", Charles Reynolds; William Addy, a file forger; a silver plater named Joseph Turner; and William Stones, another silversmith.

In 1900, when he was around 37, Ellis moved his business to 100a Charles Street.

In 1932, the business became a limited liability company and was renamed "George Ellis [Silversmiths] Ltd.", based at 107–109 Arundel Street. A trade directory from two years later lists Ellis as the managing director of the business.

Personal life Ellis was married to Louisa. They had a daughter, Winifred Grace. In 1912 they were living at 199 Chippinghouse Road in the Nether Edge area of Sheffield.

Death Ellis died in 1944, aged around 81.
