aussie Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 While researching my HOVEY side of the family I discovered that the family also went by the name of HOVERS in Sheffield. George Thomas Hovers married Eliza Mayo in 1872. They had the following children George Henry, Arthur, Sarah Ann, Mary Maria, John Robert, Jane Elizabeth, William H, Hugh, Tom, Edward and Ralph. Some Census, BDM's and Parish Records have the name HOVEY others HOVERS. Their last known address was 19 Dunn St, Sheffield. My grandfather is the George Henry and I am searching for any connections to the family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 My relatives at that time lived on Dixon Street (near the Royal Lancers pub) basically about 100 yards away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you post a message on their message board you can find out if there is a gravestone. Edward is also buried there, in a public grave, aged 14 months. The other surnames may suggest the married names of some of the daughters. Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
