In connection with the above project, which is an attempt to list (with biogs) all journalists who worked for the famous old morning newspaper that closed in 1986, we are seeking info on the following Sheffield Telegraph reporters from the 1950s:

Bill Guy; John Stevenson; Jacqueline Wilkie; Wacker Barnett; Jim Corfield; Eric Dobson; Peter Rowland; and Sylvia 'Kit' Turnbull.

Bill Guy was the son in law of another well-known Telegraph journalist, George Hopkinson; while Sylvia Turnbull was in some way connected with the family that ran the Gilmours Brewery in Sheffield.

Wacker Barnett, by the way, is a genuine name. He came from Chester, and, so I'm told, hated it when people thought his accent meant he was a native of Liverpool!

Any info will be gratefully received.
