THE BAKERIES IN SHEFFIELD WERE PLENTIFUL IN MY LIFETIME BUT THEY'VE ALL BUT DISAPPEARED.
CAN YOU REMEMBER "any body's butter but GILLOTTS bread". FLETCHERS USED TO MAKE BREAD. AS DID CASTLE BAKERY, BALTIC BAKERY, STORIES BAKERY, GUNSTONES, DAVY'S, AND THEN THERE WAS A CONNECTION WITH DON BAKERY, W.A.BROOMS, NEWBOULDS AND SUNBLEST. ALL JOINED TOGETHER BY BUY OUTS AND AMALGAMATIONS.
THERE MUST BE MORE. THINKING CAPS ON.
I ASSISTED ON THE FLETCHERS AND GILLOTTS VANS WHEN I WAS A KID, TAKING ORDERS TO DOORS WHILST THEY SERVED IN VAN. DID NOT HAND ALL TIPS OVER THOUGH.

Searching on behalf of my husband, Neil McNair (previously known as Leo Foster) from Sheffield area. Mother had surnames late McNair, previously Foster, possibly Gregory with ms of Bates. Step-father was Daniel McNair, deceased bio-father was Leon Patrick Foster. Brother/Half-brother as we have been told by husband's mum, Ellen (Ellen May, aka Nellie, aka May Ellen) was Walter Gregory (strong possibility of Walter Neville Gregory, deceased) Any info very very much appreciated as hitting a brick wall here. ThankS

Hello all,
What a great site to research all my ancestors. I have Mahonys (many brushmakers and a few cutlers thrown in here and there along with some dentists), and I'm just starting to do a little more research on the Baker side (She married into the Mahony family, but her family is from Sheffield. This site helps expedite all the research needed to connect everyone. Thanks a bunch -

Nearly all my family and half my husband's family are from Sheffield area. It is so difficult to get past the 1959 barrier and this site is helpful. My grandparents Joseph Wardley and Ann Ellis are here. Guest no 16 Ann Wardley from Canada - we must be related
