Does anyone know of a George Froggatt? born 1930 in Sheffield to a George and Mary Froggatt. His mother was my fathers sister.

I know little more of them except that they lived in Franklin Street and then moved to the Woodthorpe area.

Would appreciate any help,.

Oh dear - it seems I have a reputation to live up to! :o I can just give a little information from online public records. George Froggatt married Mary Wain in Sheffield in Apr-Jun 1919, and their two children were evidently Myra, born Oct-Dec 1919, and George, born Jul-Sep 1931. The family would have moved from Franklin Street some time before c. 1967 when the houses on Franklin Street were demolished. Here is a link to a picturesheffield.com photo of the street, taken shortly prior to demolition.

 

George jnr. may well have been the George Froggatt who married a Lily Luff in Sheffield in 1957. Lily was evidently 12 years older than George (born in Sheffiield in 1919). George and Lily don't seem to have had any children, to judge from the births index.

Yes Daven - spot on! I somehow couldn't get to the deaths index with ancestry but I have it now via findmypast. Lily doesn't seem to feature in the deaths index, nor does she appear to have remarried. George snr. may have been the George Froggatt who died in Sheffield in Oct-Dec 1947 aged 46, and Mary the Mary Froggatt who died in Sheffield in 1964 aged 68.
