> > Gooday All, > I have come up against a brick wall as we all do in the pursuit of our family's past and thought that out there some one will know something or be able to put me on the right track. My Grandfather Charles (Charlie ) James JEFFERY was born in Sheffield in 1886 married Frances Cawthorne and they had 2 sons, one of which was my dad. Charlie had 2 sisters Florence and Edith born a year before and a year after himself and I have traced them to the present day. He also had a brother George JEFFERY born in 1880 in Sheffield and to this point I cannot find out much about him. I have been assured he had 13 children and I have photos of a number of them, and in 1925 he was living at 40 Third Ave, Munition Huts Tinsley. One of the photos shows a couple of his children outside the huts. Also from the voters lists of 1925 it gives other occupants of the above address as Charles Henry Jeffrey and Jane Lillian Jeffrey. Charles Henry would probably be one of his sons but Jane Lillian could be his wife, daughter or daughter in law. > If anyone has info or can suggest which way I should turn it would be gratefully received. > > Your from Sunny Queensland OZ Alan Jeffery

Alan, I have just had a look on Ancestry for you and have found the following family which may be yours, you'll have to decide. If you would like the image to study I can mail it to you off-list. 1891 Census Civil Parish: Heeley Minicipal Ward: Nether Hallam 83 Alexandra Road Thomas H. JEFFREY, Head, Married, Age: 35, Occ: Table Knife Buffer, Born: Notts. Old Radford Sarah J. JEFFREY, Wife, Married, Age: 33, Born: Staffs, Wolverhampton John E. JEFFREY, Son, Age: 12, Occ: Cutler, Born: YKS, Sheffield James W. JEFFREY, Son, Age: 9, Scholar, Born: YKS, Sheffield Mary E. JEFFREY, Daughter, Age: 6, Scholar, Born: YKS, Sheffield Florence JEFFREY, Daughter, Age: 4, Scholar, Born: YKS, Sheffield Nellie JEFFREY, Daughter, Age: 2, Scholar, Born: YKS, Sheffield Edith JEFFREY, Daughter, Age: Under 6 Months, Born: YKS, Sheffield James JEFFREY, Father, Married, Age: 75, Born: Devon, Exeter Elizabeth JEFFREY, Mother, Married, Age: 66, Born: Herefordshire, Ashburton Albert J. JEFFREY, Brother, Widower, Age: 30, Occ: Heraldic Engraver, Born: Notts, Old Radford Charles J. JEFFREY, Nephew, Age: 8, Scholar, Born: YKS, Sheffield Herbert S. JEFFREY, Nephew, Age: 6, Scholar, Born: YKS, Sheffield Charles JEFFREY, Brother, Single, Age: 27, Occ: Locksmith, Born: Notts, Old Radford Rose A. JEFFREY, Niece, Age: 12, Scholar, Born: YKS, Sheffield All of the names you mentioned (apart from George) appear in this family although Florence & Edith are cousins to this Charles. One other thing, next to the surname of 75 year old James JEFFREY it has the letters "St", I don't know if this means he was Thomas' step-father or maybe it means something else, maybe someone else on the list may be able to throw some light on it. Looks like the house was pretty well packed. Don't forget, if you want the image just mail me and I will send it to you. Best Wishes Jeremy Crawshaw (Temp.
