My husband is Egyptian and has lived here in sheffield for 8 years. during this time he has not met any other Egyptians so are there any more out there?

My friend and her mother are Egyptiennes from Alexandria. I also believe that friend's sister also lives here.

I know of a teacher at my daughter's school who is married to an Egyptian chap.

I'm guessing there's not that many Egyptians and not enough to make a "community". However there'll be more then a few in a city of this size, just how to make contact with them?

I'll ask my Mummy.

Like it :hihi::hihi::hihi:

I have Egyptian friends in Cairo and Alexandria and they want to come over here for a holiday.
I would like them to come for a week but they seem to have problems leaving Egypt for some reason.
We plan to go back there but we would prefer them to come here.

Like it :hihi::hihi::hihi:
Yeah, that's really funny.

There are certainly various Arab and middle eastern communities in Sheffield notably Yemenis. Not evidence of an Egyptian population but hopefully it might be encouraging.

They used to all go in Cairo Jacks a few years back but will have moved on since it closed down.

Didn't Sadat meet his wife in Sheffield, sadly he is no longer with us.

I read that too awhile back, was she a Sheffielder?

I believe his wife Margaret was a Sheffielder and they met at Sheffield University.

Maybe someone could fill the bank spots in my memory?

Happy Days!

It was evidently President Sadat's mother-in-law who was from Sheffield. Anwar Sadat married Jehan Safwat Raouf whose parents were Safwat Raouf and and Gladys Raouf, née Cotterill. See http://www.egy.com/historica/egyptianconsorts.shtml which includes the statement:

"On 2 September 1924, at Ecclesall Bierlow in the county of Derby (UK), Safwat Raouf, a 25 year-old medical student at Sheffield University, married music teacher Gladys Cotterill, the daughter of Charles Henry Cotterill, a Sheffield City police superintendent".

Their daughter Jehan was born in 1933, and she married Anwar Sadat in 1949. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehan_Al_Sadat

I recall my grandparents telling me that their doctor back in the 1920's was Egyptian, they lived on The Manor at the time.

Dr Labib Botros (1898-1976) was an Egyptian GP who qualified as a doctor in Sheffield; he had surgeries in S5, S9 and S2 at various times. I was at school with his son John.

I knew John when he lived at Little Chatsworth on Millthorpe Lane, Holmesfield, he used to play for the Holmesfield cricket team.
