DUFFEMS Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 Thank you for your reply. The only information I have is that there was an Eaton male (don't know his name) perhaps Horace living in Florence Place which was located just off Gleadless Road. Regards, Duffem.

DUFFEMS Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 That's my cover blown!! It's like being found when you're playing hide and seek, you think you've found the best place possible then some cleverclogs knows you're there. Regards, Duffem (There's only 1 Duffem at the moment as the other Duffem is at work!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locket Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 sorry just finshed reading a book on heeley thats all & it mentioned it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUFFEMS Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 At least it proves that you've learnt something from the book. Apparently, in years gone by Heeley people didn't like being called "Duffems" as it was a derogatory term used to imply that they didn't pay, but, we know that Heeley folk were as honest as anyone. It was a term used by outsiders such as Meersbrook people who objected to Heeley people slipping into Meersbrook to avoid paying taxes/tolls. Regards, Duffem.

djelibeybi Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 My "Eatons" started off in Darley Dale near Matlock and ended up at Totley and Dore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUFFEMS Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 The Eatons I'm trying to find surviving relatives of were living in Heeley around the 1920era. I have a John H Eaton living at 174, Gleadless Road in 1923 who appears on a birth registration, as "the informant" and I'm trying to ascertain the connection. It's a long shot that anyone would be researching the Eaton surname but, more particularly a specific Eaton. I would welcome any information from anyone who has Eaton in their line who's done research into the family. Regards, Duffem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
