Guest kim2 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Hello everyone, I wonder if anyone can help me in tracing a distant relative of mine. I am looking for information relating to William Douglas Furniss (born 1909) who lived in the Norwood Drive area of Sheffield in the early 1970's. He worked in the town hall, but I believe that his wife Frances had a shop selling groceries/green grocery which someone might remember. He had a son in around 1940/1, but I do not know his name and this is the person I most anxious to trace, but without a first name it is difficult! William was adopted by his stepfather so it might be that he went under his birth name of Binch, but I think this unlikely. If anyone out there can tell me anything at all i would be very grateful. I look forward to your responses Best wishes Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
