Bethany1 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Hello Hillsboro Thank you so much for the information. You also presented me with another cousin Myra. Am very sad to hear of George,s passing, and so long ago. Many thanks Bethany1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Hello Bethany1 - I think your cousin Myra must have been the Myra Froggatt who married a Michael Shaw in Sheffield in 1942. There is an entry in the deaths index for a Myra Shaw, born 23 November 1919, who died in Sheffield in Jul-Sep 1991. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bethany1 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Hillsboro- you are a fountain of kindness and information. Many thanks for Myras information Sad isn't it? cousins I never knew, Bethany1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Hello again Bethany1 - I'm only too glad to be able to find information (with a little help from Daven!) Yes, it is sad to discover relatives that we never knew. Finding Myra's descendants - if any - might be tricky. There were three Shaw/Froggatt marriages in Sheffield between 1936 and 1942, and six Shaw children born between 1942 and 1954 in Sheffield, with the mother's maiden name given as Froggatt!

Bethany1 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 That should keep me busy for a while. Thank you again Hillsboro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetdexter Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Any relation to the Froggatt who played for Wednesday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Hi sweetdexter - I also wondered about this, and I had a quick look at family records but there doesn't seem to be a connection. Redfern Froggatt's great-grandfather William Froggatt was an Owlerton baker, while George's ancestors seem to have been razor grinders living at Stannington. All the same there could be a distant family link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daven Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 There used to be a large family of Froggatts lived at Stannington. It appears to be a relatively common name in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukian5897 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I am looking for an old colleague of mine Liz Froggatt. I know she was from STocksbridge/Oughtibridge area she was niece of Redfern Froggatt. Can anyone help find her for me please I have been looking for months and tried everything I know. She would be 56 now and born in 1960. Rumour had it she married someone from the RAF in the early 80's. Any help is great. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13court2 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Hi all just came across this site and this thread, I lived on Franklin St in the 50s & 60s at the bottom end near Horace the barber, I was born in 1948 so would have been going to Sharrow Lane juniors in the early 50s. I then went on to Newfield Secondary and it seems we all split up. When they demolished the street we went to live on the Norfolk Park flats. I remember most of the names that DEEDA mentioned in the above post. I remember all the good times I had growing up there, yeah, the cobbles and the melting tar, brilliant times. I still live near the area, I moved to the bottom end of Ecclesall Road, the Cemetery was just behind me, now I'm a little further up just above Banner Cross. Hope we can get this thread going again guys.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
