HughW Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Hello Dave, Welcome to Sheffield History. Ecclesall Bierlow has different meanings in different contexts: Township, Poor Law Union, Civil Parish or Registration District? Some names, and some idea of the date are essential.

Dave Wells Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 Good evening Hugh, This used to be a district of Sheffield where all my great grandparents lived, my father was born there in 1911. I'm trying to find some links to my grandparents Herbert Edric Wells, a fish dealer along with his brother Regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Wells Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 I very much appreciate this Edmund yes thanks a lot, I'm only just starting with this. I have some information, yes he lived with us in Blackpool until his death. He and his brother were fish dealers in Sheffield. I'm now nearing 80 yrs so I thought I'd do a bit of investigating before "I pop my clogs" so to speak, again many thanks David W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmund Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 A couple of newspaper cutting will be of interest: Herbert was killing pigs in unlicensed premises: The Town Clerk and editorial writer were not impressed that the magistrate had been so lenient: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
