Unknown Report 9 May 2016 11:18

I'm looking for information on Joseph Austin who had a brass and iron foundry in Farnsworth with a William Hardman Robert Peat and William Yardley.
I have found that in 1837 hardman and Austin parted ways in their partnership of the firm Hardman,Austin & co.
The company was run by Austin Yardley and Peat until 1841 when joseph Austin left and it was run by Yardley and peat.
Any information greatly accepted.
