Ponytail Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Booth & Son, wholesale & family provision merchants, No. 3 Fargate Advertisement from Illustrated Guide to Sheffield, Pawson and Brailsford 1862 Does anybody know how long Booth & Son was trading from No. 3 Fargate. Interesting to find the products imported from abroad, hadn't thought about different butters being amongst the list, wondered where Keil butter comes from?

Edmund Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Kiel was Denmark, then Prussia then Germany. The Fargate shop seems to have operated between 1861 and 1865. Booth was Richard Booth, "staymaker and provision dealer" was operating from Albert Road, Heeley in 1861. By 1871 he was retired at Ford near Eckington. The "& Son" was Thomas Booth who married Clara Reckless in November 1863 - he was 23 years old and Clara was 17, but by the end of the year she had been buried. He remarried to Mary Ann Newsum in Rotherham in 1865. By 1871 he was in Rotherham as an Agent in the Provision Trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponytail Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 You're a mine of information Edmund, thank you. The next question has anybody had Kiel butter on their bread? Can you tell the difference between all these butters? Suppose it depends what the cows have been eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
