PopT Â Â 10 #2 Posted November 2, 2011 In the late 1950's worked alongside a Wilf Palfreyman at the River Don Steel Work. Â I do not have any details about him apart from he was in his fifties and wore specs and everyday he cooked his own dinner on the furnace. Â Maybe someone else has further details. Â I hope this snippet is of interest? Â Happy Days! PopT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
hillsbro   27 #3 Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) Hi susyswan - welcome to the SheffieldForum!.. I imagine you have census data but, for example, the family turns up in the 1891 census - John Palfreyman and Jane E. Palfreyman living in Canada Street, Brightside, with children Miriam, Hannah, Arthur and William. Arthur appears in the 1911 census in Sheffield, married to Louisa and with a daughter Phyllis. Let me know if you need scans of the census return pages. Edited November 2, 2011 by hillsbro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
susyswan   10 #4 Posted November 2, 2011 Thank you for your reply. i have census data for the family from 1891-1911. in the 1911 census William is living with his mother Jane still at canada street. there are 2 grandaughters living with Jane. these could be daughters of Arthur.

maria.j. Â Â 10 #5 Posted November 4, 2011 My father's first wife was named Annie Palfreyman. she was born 10.8.1908. Her father was named William, and her mother was Louisa Amelia Palfreyman. formerly French. Their address at the time was Highhouse Road , Sheffield. Annie was known to my father as Nancy. Nancy was living with an aunt in the public house The Shakespeare, Shalesmoor, Sheffield at the time of the marriage in 1928. Hoping this might help with your family history.
