dawnci1 Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 STILL AT A LOSS WITH THIS ONE. Anyone that knows of any Claxton's or Smith still living in Sheffield, would be really helpful. All I know is Leonard Father was William and they lived on Hampton Road in the 30's & 40's, i believe from records, that they left the street, in about 1953, does anyone know where they moved to????? Thankyou everyone for your help so far, it is greatly appreciated ;-) xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbiet Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Hampton Road is not really in Pitsmoor but in Firvale so it is quite possible he never went to Pye Bank School Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbiet Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 The two old schools closest to Hampton Road are Firshill Infants and Owler Lane Secondary who have a thread on this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUFFEMS Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 If you look on here: http://www.sheffieldindexers.co.uk there are several Claxton names under "School Records/Burials/Parish Records", Leonard isn't among them but, there's probably a connection with the other Claxton names to give you a possible background.

Thank you Duffems, will check the link out later, all i know is Leonards dad was called William, probably born around the 1900, or before. This is most helpful thank you everyone ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure, what Claxton's are alive today, but would you be able to ask Pete, if he had a relation that lived in Hampton Road at any time, all I know is his dad is called William, if that helps at all ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have managed to go on this site Duffems, It is absolutely fabulous, I didn't even know this existed, I have even tried the Rotherham one to research my family, but not a patch on this one, thank you sooooooooooo much this im sure will be a great help ;-) xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
