HOLLAND, Franklin: L/Cpl. 10530. 9th West Yorkshire Regt. (Prince of Wales's Own). KIA 06/08/15 GWGC gives parents address as 6 Dalton Cottages, Tapton Hill Road.

SH link .. Crosspool in the Great War

There was also George Holland who ran the King's Head at Tapton Hill / Manchester Road

between 1893 and 1905 . I wonder if he could belong to the same family.

That is well worth looking into UKL,

could be a lot more information out there about Dalton Cottages.

I wonder why they were called Dalton? To the best of my knowledge there isn’t a Dalton district in Sheffield……but North East Derbyshire and specifically Totley Bents was where the family originated …..as far back as the 1560s.

According to Google: 

"Dalton comes from the Old English dæl, “valley,” and tūn, “settlement,” and was a surname borne by aristocratic families and landholders throughout England."

There is a Dalton in Rotherham.

This Map includes Tapton Hill Road but perhaps too early for the cottages. 

Plan of allotments, Crookesmoor, [c. 1788 - 1798]

The plan is endorsed 'Ecclesall Bierlow 1798'; but it seems to be a draft for the award, which was completed in 1788.

Marked: Sheffield Charity School lands, Joseph Badger's late Matthew Castleton's land, Tapton Hill Road, Tapton Hill...... etc.

I know of Dalton in Rotherham and also one in Lancashire and I know of the names possible derivation ….an alternative is that it is Norman- French.

There is an old Irish document which states that a Dalton “ secretly married the daughter of the French King”…for which he was banished from France and  came to England where he joined the Strongbows expedition to Ireland which established the Pale around Dublin and district.

Still wonder why the cottages are so named!
