Sheffield family surnames.

That's what I was meaning,  old historic family names.

A lot of trade names can come from anywhere, such as Cooper,Fletcher, Tiler, Smith etc so names specific to Sheffield, or anywhere else, might be difficult to find. This probably also applies to many other towns and cities.

Years ago, I borrowed a book from the library which named  sixteen ancient Sheffield names. I can only remember three of them, probably because I knew people with these names.

The names were Truelove, Bramall/Bramhall and Shirtcliffe.

Have tried to find the book since but to no avail
