What are you looking for? I don't think you're going to get far asking people on here. You're hardly going to get a complete or official picture. If you are aiming to study your family history you should maybe head for Sheffield Archives on Shoreham Street and check out the census returns. You may even find that your family is not entirely from Sheffield?

I think I may know this Trevor Fox. He may be a former work contact who is employed by Sheffiled City Council at Sovereign House on Bank Street.

Was he a mad-keen Wednesdayite?
