christofaa Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Hi, I'm looking for any living descendants of W.E and C.A Laycock who might have old photographs of the house or information relating to Stumperlowe Grange, Stumperlowe lane in Fulwood, Sheffield (opposite Stumperlowe Hall). My grandfather has lived in the house since 1960. From my research the Laycock family lived there from the 1850's until the late 1920's. W. E Laycock was mayor of Sheffield in 1865. Any information would be much appreciated, Thanks Chris C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Is this the same as Grange Farm, Stumperlowe? If so there's a good photo on Picture Sheffield (http://www.picturesheffield.co.uk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christofaa Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 Mr William Samuel Laycock of Laycock Engineering at Millhouses was the son of W. E. Laycock. Are there any relatives of the Laycock engineering family out there who might have some information or old photographs of this family? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Softly Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I did have relatives who I thought had the address of Stumperlowe Grange, Fulwood Sheffield they lived there in the 50's 60's I used to visit as a child. I am now 61 and living in Canada. I remember it was a beautiful house in it's own grounds and my Uncle was called Gordon Cumming he was then Personnel Manager at Samual Foxes. I do know my Auntie Kath passed away a few years ago, but dont know if Uncle Gordon still lives there. Any help would be really nice. Jan Softly then Janet Ward.

salmonbones Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Sorry to resurect an old thread, but I found this quite by accident whilst putting "W laycock and son" into google Is this the same laycock who has a building that has lain empty for as long as I can remember near the train station that says "W Laycock and Son, Manufacturers of Bias Buffs" ? I've always wondered about the history of that building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
