Lostmarbles Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Hi Everyone , I'm doing my family tree and am trying to trace my fathers brother - Fred Taylor born May 1944 in Sheffield (Southey Green Area) to George Taylor (nee Trickett) and May Taylor (nee Outram) . He and my father (John Taylor b.1942) were left by their parents with their paternal grandmother Blanche Taylor (nee Trickett) who , being 60 and a widow couldn't handle 2 young boys and sent my uncle to Cherry tree orphanage or Fulwood Cottage homes but kept my dad with her !! I believe Fred got in touch with my dad at around age 14 and was living on Pear St or so my father seems to recall , but their grandmother put a stop to it !!??? Would be grateful for any leads , many thanks:help: The world's gone mad and i've lost touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostmarbles Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 Hi Everyone - l'm still searching for Fred who was born May 14th 1944 at Masters Rd S5 . I've recently managed to find out what became of his and my fathers mother and discovered they also have 2 sisters who were born in the south west around Bristol and both of whom I am now in touch with and speaking to regularly - all a bit strange for my dad who , yesterday on his 67th Birthday got his first birthday card ''To Brother'' - he was over the moon with it as you can imagine !! Therefore I am renewing my efforts to find Fred and try to complete the picture as both sisters would also love to find him , If anyone could help I would be more than grateful !

DUFFEMS Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Have you tried sending information to the Sheffield Star who have a Contact section in Saturday night's edition? This used to be the contact on-line: Fiona.Firth@sheffieldnewspapers.co.uk It may have changed but, I'm sure that someone else will put me right. Good luck in your pursuit, it must be wonderful for your dad to find his sisters at least. Duffems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
