Find Ancestors

Hello everyone. My name is John Broomhead. I have just started trying to trace my own ancestry. My father was one 'Donald Eric' born 02/10/1927 and his father was one William Henry born 1899/1900. On Willaim Henry's marriage certificate he is down as 'William Henry Fox Broomhead' although at the moment I cannot find where the 'Fox' originated. They lived at 39 Heavygate Ave. Sheffield and I have a sepia photo circa 1935 of my father and his sister Margaret standing outside the house. William Henry married Rose Emmeline Andrews on 22nd July 1918. The marriage was solemnised at Wesley hall, Crookes, Ecclesall, Bierlow. County of Derby & Sheffield. They had 3 children - Margaret (eldest) Violet and Donald Eric (my father & youngest) Q. Do these names crop up in anyone else’s tree? My my quest at this time is to trace my great grandfather - father of William Henry. HOWEVER according to the marriage certificate his name was 'William Henry HARRISON' of 74 Duncan Rd, Crookes, Sheffield??? very strange. Hope someone can point me in the right direction - Many thanks - John B

Hi, my name is Christina Woolliscroft, nee Dickerson. My Uncle, Walter Dickerson was born in 39 Heavygate Avenue in 1921. I'm not sure I can help you with anything but your photo of your relatives outside the house would be of great interest to me to see the house. It seems possible that your relatives may have known mine but, unfortunately most of my relatives have died on this side of my family from that time so I know very little. I have googled the area and I do not know if the houses were the same as they are now. I would be grateful if you have any info on this matter. I hope to hear from you. Best wishes Christina.

Welcome to the boards Christina

John's post is 9 years old and he hasn't posted since then so I doubt he will see your reply.

You could try to contact him direct by clicking on his name and sending a private message. If he still has the same email address that he registered with Genes then he will be notified that he has a message waiting. If he has changed his email address it will be impossible to contact him.
