maggieannb   10 #1 Posted April 20, 2012 Hi  I am trying to find as much information as possible about a company called F Parramore & Sons, I think it was formed in 1924 at Smith Street, Sheffield S35 1WQ.  If anyone has any information on this regarding family, F Parramore and his sons it would be much appreciated.  Many thanks  Maggie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
