Tracing family

[broncolives 10]

I can only trac my family in Sheffield from app 1885 having moved from Birmingham. 

Yet I have discovered through pic Sheffield a business in 1856 which appears to belong to my ancestry John Drew as a edge tool maker at 6 Wicker Lane. Does any clever person know how I can confirm him as a family member

If you havent already done so you need to  produce a family tree back from yourself.  Census returns on ancestry will help also Freebmd for births marriages & deaths? Also look at Sheffield iNdexers which is free .

Thanks a bunch people i did have some of that information but some I didnt. My problem is that in the 1856 trade directory John Drew is listed as having a business as an Edge Tool maker at number 6 Wicker Lane and yet he still seems to reside in Birmingham. This is the puzzle I have any idea of how to solve it.
