Olivers in Sheffield

Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm new to the forum but spotted some threads regarding Olivers Mount in Darnall. As one of your contributers commented, the houses at Olivers Mount were built on land owned by Ernest and Herbert Oliver who owned High Hazels Farm and lived at Bramley Hall. The brothers along with another brother Edward, my grandfather, ran butchers shops in Attercliffe and Darnall. Later (1940 - 1970) Edwards sons ran shops in Attercliffe, on Attercliffe Common and at the bottom of Staniforth Rd. Edward lived on Freestone Place Attercliffe and brought up a large family (14) there.

Well there you go. I'm not sure I can work it out as far as your own generation is concerned but Elizabeth Oliver (Paramore/Barratt) was my grandmother. As far as we know she was full sister to Harry Barratt and half sister to Clara, Annie, Rose, Fanny and Joseph Barratt and she was I believe half sister to Mary Ann, George, William and John Paramore. Now that is not entirely certain as there is some confusion over birth and death dates for her and her "father" Henry Paramore. If you have more information I would be keen to hear it.

I am Anthony the grandson of Harry Oliver, the original owner of the Oliver's Butchers chain of shops and meat business. I have recently retired and decided to see if anyone may remember me as I moved away from Handsworth when I was eleven. I attended the school of St Joseph's and then moved to Cornwall where I went to the same school as John Nettles the 'Midsomer Murders' actor - though sadly I didn't meet him. I like to dig around on the internet a little to seek out old Olivers information. My father was one of three sons, Leslie, Edwin and Bernard. Only Edwin and Bernard became butchers, my father Leslie was an architect. At the time of writing this, February 2013, Bernard my uncle is still around and lives near Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk. I would love to hear from anyone who knew more about the Olivers and their extensive family.

I shopped many times in Ted Olivers Butchers Shop in Attercliffe as my mum wouldn't shop anywhere else.
