There's a builder in Walkley goes by the name of Terry Else, and where I used to work GB Posters there were two lads called Darren and oh, can't remember the eldest...might be worth a shot. :huh:

Hi Bryan.1943

 

Their marriage cerrificate will give you the respective fathers names and occupations. Their respective birth certificates will name your grandparents enabling you to locate their marriages.

 

Work back one generation at a time...proving as you go.

 

When you get back to 1901 you can then start using the census.

Hi BRyan1943.

 

They were married in the Sept Quarter of 1937. The reference is Sheffield Vol 9C page 1447...you can apply for the certificate from the register office.

 

Was your fathers date of birth 23rd July 1913...?

Hi Bryan1943

 

I have found the Death registration of a Frank ELSE in October 1987...is this when he died?

 

If this is correct then his birth is registered in the Sept Quarter of 1913 at Sheffield reference 9C 1266 and his mothers maiden name is MILNS...

 

Working back from this there is a marriage for James Henry ELSE and Ada MILNS in the Dec Quarter of 1896 registered Sheffield 9C 787

 

If this is the correct family then in 1901 they are living at 70 Rutland Road.

Ecclesiastical district of St Michael and all Angels.

RG13/4374/146

James H ELSE aged 27 Engineers Tool Smith born Sheffield

Ada ELSE wife aged 27 born Sheffield

Laura ELSE daughter aged 1 born Sheffield

Sarah ELSE sister (to James) aged 12 born Sheffield

Isabella MILNS mother in law aged 69 born Sheffield

 

The relationships shown are to the head of the household which is James.

Hi Bryan1943.

 

The only way to go then is to apply for the marriage certificate to confirm his fathers name.

 

Good Luck
