mheeley Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Am looking for information on Bloomsbury Place, Sheffield in 1840's and 1850's. My ancestor Thomas Heeley lived there and worked for Dixons Silversmiths at Cornish Place. Presume it was nearby? Any help as to location or nearby streets would be welcomed. Thanks:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazarus Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 In the 1893 Kelly's Directory there's a Miss Heeley living at 139 Crookesmoor Rd, perhaps a relative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have now discovered this property and several others owned by my family. Were originally Bloomsbury Place but must have become the 130's Crookesmoor Road as Sheffield developped. Miss Heeley was great great aunt Fanny born 1863. Mike Heeley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
