RichardB Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 In March 1885, only three months after the death of her mother, came the death of her father at the age of 85. Henry Styring had operated as an estate agent in Sheffield for about 46 years until his retirement at which time it was continued by his sons - first Henry Ashmore Styring and then William Thomas Styring. An early injury to his arm which had left it deformed, further emphasised his small stature and the frailness of his health. Despite these setback, Henry had lived to a good age and, in whatever spare time he had from his profession, had farmed 12 acres with some help from an occasional farm man, in the centre of the estate park of the Earls of Shrewsbury, where they lived. This enterprise had provided most of the food for his family. http://www.beeston-n...rwood_ps4.shtml http://www.beeston-notts.co.uk/families/Harwood/1757.shtml (hack about on the site from there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
