GOLDEN OLDIE Â Â 15 #1 Posted March 3, 2015 My father Ernest Morton who died in the late 1950s had a friend called Manterfield. I don't remember his first name. Are there any Manterfields out there who remembers their father or grandfather having a friend of that name? He may have lived in the Shiregreen area.

Bluegirlblue   10 #3 Posted March 3, 2015 The headmaster of Dobcroft Middle school in the 1980's was Mr Manterfield. He struck me as an old man, but I assume (now) he was in his late 50's. Try contacting the school, they might have more info. Obviously, being only 10 years old, he didn't have a first name to us - just "Mr" Manterfield.

astrols   10 #5 Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) I have some Manterfield relations but not sure they ever lived in the Shiregreen area. It's a pretty rare name in these parts so I hope you find who you're looking for, but have to admit I think it's a long shot! Perhaps if you gave more clues? What did your dad do for a living, for example - maybe that would narrow things down a bit? Edited March 4, 2015 by astrols Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The son was Martin who was well known around Sheffield back in the day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

GOLDEN OLDIE Â Â 15 #10 Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) My father Ernest Morton lived on Homestead Road at Sheffield Lane Top. He was a bit of an enigma being 21 years older than my mother and having been married before. His first wife died in 1941 and they lived on Mason Lathe Road, Lower Shiregreen. He was fairly famous as a playwright who dabbled in amateur dramatics and did stage makeup for local dancing school shows. He died in 1959.

He was a George who married a Gladys Thompson in 1930. There are a few to choose from! Peter himself had 2 children who are probably still living.
