I am looking for Doris Headford, the youngest of three sisters and two brothers who lived one of the courts in Wentworth Street, Sheffield, which was to the rear of the old Royal Infirmary. I don’t know her married name, but her age now will be around 76 years.

My aunt was married to a Denis Headford. Her name was Annie. Don't know whether that will help. They to lived near the Royal Infirmary.

Thanks for the info re the Headford family, Hazel. If he served in the army during the second world war he was probably one of her brothers. What was the first name of his wife?

Sorry! Her name was Annie. I should have read your reply better. It gives me a trace, anyway. Thank you so much!

i went to college with a young boy called daniel headford who i belive at the moment lives at intake not sure it will help but you never know good luck:thumbsup:

Sorry her name was Mary not Annie and I am sure he was a Chief Petty Officer in the Navy. So doesn't seem likely.
I think he had siblings though don't know names.
He was in partnership with a Vincent Hayse, building houses.

my dads name was kevin headford, he died in 77 i think, as i was only young and my mum and dad were divorced i cant remember any family members names, but i think i had an aunty called ennis

I don't have any particular knowledge of this family but, as it is a rare name, I looked at the indexes of Births/Marriages/Deaths to see if they might help.

I think these are the parents:

GRO Marriages DEC Qtr 1909
HEADFORD John William
HOWARD Mary
(registered in Sheffield)

and I found 8 possible children (all with HOWARD listed as mother's maiden name):

Ethel 1912
William 1914
Harry L. 1917
Edward F. 1919
George H.. 1921
Kate 1923
Mary 1925
Doris 1928

Maybe some of these names will help jog some memories.

Also from the indexes, I think Doris married Frank SELLARS in the first quarter of 1952. Also, I think her sister Mary married Mark WOODHEAD in the first quarter of 1949.

There's a Doris Sellars in the BT phonebook online.
