Looking for any members of the Walter Kidgell & Jane Elizabeth (Jenny) Crofts family from Woodland Street, Hilsborough Sheffield. Lived there around the 1900's.

Children were: Walter, dennis, margaret, Connie & Gladys.

Any help on this family, or if you know if any Kidgells/crofts, please let me know.

Thank you in advance

The Walter who died in 1998 was this one:

GRO Births DEC Qtr 1924

KIDGELL Walter (mother's maiden name: CROFTS)

Ecclesall B 9c 676

and these are his parents:

GRO Marriages SEP Qtr 1920

KIDGELL Walter (Crofts)

CROFTS Jane E (Kidgell)

Ecclesall Bierlow.9c 1062

This couple are buried in Walkley Cemetery...

Grave J133

KIDGELL Jane Elizabeth 14 Mar 1953 12 Owlings Place 58

KIDGELL Walter 27 Feb 1940 City General Hospital 47

[name/date of burial/address or place where death occurred/age]

This last Walter is therefore the right age to be the son of Thomas and Catherine in 1901

'James A.' I think should be James F[rederick], born in 1899 and married Eva OATES in 1926.

There's an S.E.KIDGELL in the Sheffield phonebook - still living at 12 Owlings Place!

There are also a D. (who I believe is Dennis) and a G. KIDGELL.
