Hello, this is a very long shot but has anyone got any recollection of a house in Sheffield called Ashley House. The street is unknown but it is number 12. From the photo it could have been taken in late 1800´s / early 1900´s . Many thanks.
From the Trade Directories over to the left
Whitton, George (, master roller at Messrs. Webster and Horsfall).
Address: house, ASHLEY HOUSE, Killamarsh, in 1871.
Recorded in: Whites Sheffield & District Directory - 1871.
Perhaps someone can find him in the censuses, particularly 1871, to see if there is any more info?
