I have recently found a newspaper article indicating that my grandfather, Hugh Dronfield, ran as a candidate in the Crooksmoor area for the Workers Charter Movement. He was also president of Fawcett Street Men’s Guild. Can anyone tell me what the latter means . Is it purely a men’s club in Fawcett Street and can I find out anything about it. He was also involved with Sheffield Council of Action.

As I know very little about my grandfather I would appreciate any help you can give me in understanding who Hugh was.

I do have his censuses, medal card and photo of him from Picture Sheffield.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Betty

I can't answer your question I'm afraid but wondered if this is your grandfather. Just thought it may be something you would like to see, if you haven't already.

Thanks for your reply, much appreciated.

I had seen this entry, thanks. It is one of the few things that I have been able to find on him. It was on that site that I saw my first photo of him.

Thanks for your time.
