Approx lived on Clarefield Rd from 1968-1975 next door to Mr Damms.

Thanks for the quick reply.

The years sound about right for him to possibly be my Uncle Ernest.

My maiden name was Damms and I'm trying to find any information about the name, or finding people with the same surname. The only thing I know about my side of the family is that they lived in the Attercliffe area of Sheffield in the 1900's, after originally moving from Tideswell. Any info would be most appreciated.
