What names have you got for children from 1911 census apart from Wilfred? It's easier to follow them with a few more clues, Thanks.

...Damms Joseph Wilson Sheffield 9c 786

Births Dec 1941...

Hi charleywoo - a Joseph Damms married an Audrey J. Siddall in Sheffield in Jan-Mar 1968. The 2004 electoral roll shows a Joseph and Audrey J. Damms at an address in S6. Joseph and Audrey evidently had children Joanne Theresa (b. Oct-Dec 1968.) and Sally Anne (b. Oct-Dec 1972). The 2004 electoral roll lists also only one Sally A. Damms in the UK, and her address is also in Sheffield. PM me if you'd like either address..

Hi Charleywoo,

 

My grandfather was Arnold Damms, married to Gertrude, they had 8 children, 6 boys & 2 girls, although one of the boys (walter) died quite young.

 

I don't know anything about the family any further back than my grandfather

 

The people referred to by Rivelin 6 on his posting 31/12/10 are my aunts & uncles (except one being my Mother) although there are some missing from that list

[ibbo 10]

What about Dr Damms from Firth Park? He died a few years ago but I understand he was part of a large family. Lived on Barnsley Road, not sure if his daughter is called Sally?

Hi Pete R ,

I am at the moment wading through all the info i have got, would love to know if Arnold is my gt Grandads brother though. It is really difficult because he died in the 1st world war even my nan (his daughter ) didnt know anything other than his name. If you manage to get any info about arnolds siblings could you let me know and likewise anything else i find out i will keep you informed. Thanks Charley woo
