RichardB Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 When was Ingram Road built (Norfolk Park area, apparently), anyone any idea please ? Any maps also appreciated, the earlier the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Thanks Steve. Just checking the validity of this Wiki statement : Charles Frederick Peace's father, John Peace, began work as a collier at Burton upon Trent. After losing his leg in an accident, he joined "Wombwell's wild beast show" and soon acquired some reputation for his remarkable powers as a tamer of wild animals. About this time John Peace married at Rotherham the daughter of a surgeon in the Navy. On the death of a favourite son to whom he had imparted his skills in taming wild beasts, Peace gave up lion-taming and settled in Sheffield as a shoemaker. On 14 May 1832, his wife gave birth in Sheffield to a son, Charles, the youngest of a family of four. The family lived at 59 Ingram Road, in the Norfolk Park area of the city. Which sounded deeply suspicious to me. Peace_Wiki_Unlikely Map surveyed 1889-92, published 1894. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
