A bit of a dig in the Googlesphere finds this...

A firm of ironfounders, established c1818 by Luke and Jesse Siddons at the Hill Top Foundry, West Bromwich. The firm was later known as Joseph and Jesse Siddons.

Wednesbury Forge

Wednesbury Forge was leased by Edward Elwell in 1817 and purchased by him in 1831. His father, William Elwell, an ironfounder at Walsall became Mayor of the town in 1778 and 1787. Edward trained as a surgeon and served with the Royal Artillery from 1807 to 1811. After returning to Walsall and practicing there for a while he set himself up as a maker of edge tools at Sparrow’s Forge in Wednesbury.

The Elwell family had another industrial link with the town because Edward’s uncle, Edward Elwell established an ironworks in Wednesbury producing cast iron holloware. It later became Hill Top Foundry.
