Recently split from hubby and its his side of the family. Will see what I can find think we followed the Frosts back to 1700 and Derbyshire.  Eyam, Hathersage and Ashford in the Water areas.  Leave it with me for a few weeks and I will come back to you. Sue ;)

Thanks for bumping this thread to the top, I daren't.  ;D

I haven't gone to the press yet because it isnt my photo.  Perhaps the owner would like to send it to the Sheffield Star.

Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year ;)

Hi again Hugh

Does that mean he was a turncock at the Fire station ??

Going back to the picture above

The listings for Rockingham st have William Frost as chief officer (at the front of the photo looking proud stripes on his arm.)Frederick William Hadwick/Tom Breaks as Superintendant (looks like the bloke at the back also with stripes.) Might be possable then.

 :D Great I had a feeling that they came from Birmingham but couldnt prove it. Unfortunately I know nothing about this side of the family. 

I did find on a scrap of paper that Walter worked at the waterworks so it looks like we are on the right tracks. It also said that one of the Turtons had a pub on or near London Rd Sheffield.  It also said Walter lived with G-Grandma near Ecclesall rd area until she died and then he moved to Scotland.

As for Fred & Emmas marriage my uncle is the oldest ,Eric, being born in 1926. 

I have been to the fire museum and couldn't see his name on any of the listings.

Thank you both for all this info ;)

I dont have the cert as it was lost in a trunk whilst relatives moved abroad, but Elizabeth does seem to be a possable.  Fred was born in 1903 so that birth looks quite likely :)

Thank you CatOne you are pointing me in the right direction :)

I am looking for the parents of my grandfather on my fathers side.  I have always had problems with this side of the family as they moved all over the country. 

My grandfather was Frederick Tanner b 07.04.03 and died in the 1970,s and he married Emma Turton 29.09.?? as you can see the information on the Tanner side has always been absent.  Emmas mothers maiden name was Thackeray. 

Frederick had brothers, Charlie, Harold who married Rita from Shirecliffe, Sidney and maybe a Walter.  My uncle was born in 1926 in Balm Green Sheffield. But nothing is known any further back.  Except that my great grandfather used to be a fireman in Sheffield.
