kitkat14 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Hi i am wondering if any one can remember a family who lived at 60 Chippenigham street for about twenty years. My Grandfather Harold Bacon grew up there with his sisters and brothers, Bill, Edie, Florrie, Doris and Joe. Their father was called Ralph. I am not sure what their mtoehrs name was. When their mother died the children were put into an orphanage. Bill lost his leg in the orphanage and went on to sell new papers outside sheffield station until his death in about 1960. What orpahange would have been the likely one they were in? And does any one remember this family? It seems like they didn't excist as i can't even find records of some of them! Thanks for any help!

Wainy Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Kathy Recently joined The Sheffield Forum and came across your query. There was a Bacon family two doors away from us on Attercliffe Road. The father and his three children. The father had lost part of his arm (they said in WW1) and he had a hook on the stub which he then hooked over the handlebars of his bike. He road to work everyday. Two of his children's names I can remember are Joe and Freda. I am talking aboutthe early 1940's. Joe and Freda were teenagers. Their house number would have been #85 or #77. I cannot remember which way the numbers went. Hope this is of help. Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
