Does anyone know Beth Sockett in Sheffield not sure where abouts tho. Used to know her a while ago wanted to get back in touch. Thanks

There was (is?) an electrical shop at Fir Vale called E Sockett.

Unfortunately thats not the one neither related to.

My wifes maiden name is Sockett, some of her relatives still live in Sheffield. I have an extensive family tree recorded including many Socketts form my wifes side, however not one of them is a Beth Sockett

i know a beth sockett, (elizabeth j sockett) she is now living in east london. probably not the same one.

There is a guy on the committee of the Sheffield and Disctrict junior football league he may be related try looking for(Pete Sockett) his contact details on www.junleague .co.uk. The details should be on the committee members there.

There was a family of Socketts that lived on Tideswell Rd at Firth Park in the '70s and a Sockett family now live on the Longley. I don't think they are related in anyway but it might help you out you never know.

Nice one, duckegg.

Well Ally thought it was a good joke, even if you might need a grown up to explain it to you.

I knew some Sockets on Adlington Rd back in 1961. Her name was Martha and she had a sister; don't know sisters name may be related.marther was A friend off my granny

I had an aunt who lived on Deerlands avenue in Parson cross called Socket....

I knew a jane sockett who lived on hartleybrook avenue

I'll check the census records to see if there are any Sheffield Sockets in 1900.

There was one family of Sheffield Socketts in 1901. The family lived at 271 Bright Street, Attercliffe part of Darnall in the parish of St. Bartholomews church, Carbrook. There were several sons all possible fathers of Beth. I'll check again to see what the occupation of the father was.

Henry Sockett, head of the house was an Iron Worker. They lived next door to Thomas Mitchell, a grocer on the one side and the other side was a Mr Randall, another iron worker. If this connects can give the rest of the family info. fyi

hi thats sound right. would be good thanks

Hi There, I am a Sockett. I don't know of any Beth Sockett, but there are literally hundreds of us around the country. I have lived in Sheffield all my life. About thirty years ago there were only two or three Socketts in the Sheffield telephone directory, now there are twenty plus. The shop at Firvale ( E.Sockett) closed down a couple of years ago. I am related to the man who originally started that business many years ago. I wish you luck in trying to find the information you are searching for.

the man who opened the shop is my nanans brother. she was the only girl

This is info from the census. Henry Socket (b.1866/7) married Mary A (b 1869) in Sheffield in Jan/Feb 1891. Their children up to 1901 were: William Henry b 1891, Harriet b 1893, Annie E. b 1896, Charles b 1899 and John b 1901. If Annie E Sockett married into the Mills family (from Rotherham) then it's possible you are related to the "Pings" from Little Brickhill in Buckinghamshire. Henry Socket lived in Attercliffe but died in Rotherham where the Mills family and the Pings were. Attercliffe was affected by the yellow smog that came from the foundries and steelworks in the East End. A good reason to move away! The smog caused a lot of consumption in those days. Let me know if you can find out more about the Mills family and if you can find out more about any Rotherham connection.

hi no as far as i know annie e sockett came from carbrook brightside

i went to school with a dorothy sockett had a big family they lived on webster street run between dunlop street and brightstreet

You said Annie E married into the Mills family. From where did the Mills family come? Annie E may have stayed and worked in Carbrook, however some of the family moved to Rotherham. Every reason to believe Annie met Mr Mills from Rotherham and then married and lived in Carbrook.

my grandad was born in brightside. his name is charles henry mills

Just a thought. Still investigating. Shouldn't be too difficult to connect.

Does anyone know Beth Sockett in Sheffield not sure where abouts tho. Used to know her a while ago wanted to get back in touch. Thanks

I knew a Bernard Sockett who could be related, he had kids , he moved to Canada a few years ago.

hi lakerman this beth sockett i dont think she is related. but if u are related to the man who had the shop then maybe we are? he was my nanan brother/nephew i think i wolud like to know my mums gandmother/fathers names as my mum can not rember?

Hello Billy 75, I don't know much about where and when my Grandad was born but by my calculations he was born about 1895. He had a cousin ( who I believe was E.Sockett) who started the electrical business/shop at Firvale.
My grandad had four brothers (Ernest , Albert, John and Sidney) also one who died as a baby.
He had two sisters (Ellen and Mary). There may have been other brothers and sisters but I can't recall any more.
My grandad married Beatrice Annie Haywood. They had Two sons (Joseph Edwin and Sidney) Two daughters (Doris and Margaret)
Joseph Edwin was my father. He married Minnie Kelford. They had one other child which is my sister Lynn.
I don't know if this helps or confuses the matter, but good luck.
