I have just found the Sheffield Indexers forum as I have just started to research my family tree.

Joseph Hallewell (bricklayer) (Spouse Mary Ellen) was my Great great grandfather born 1853, my grandfather Wallace was born 1895, and his son Wallace born 01/07/1922 was my father.

I know they lived at the following addresses in Sheffield:

164 Matilda St, 121 South St, 131 Brittain St and I believe 5 Shoreham St

Joseph and Mary Ellen had 13 children although only 8 survived, their names are :-

Lucy, Drucilla, Agnes, Clara, Wallace, Tim, Josephine, Joe, Jim, Fred, Albert, Harry, Jem.


I would be grateful for any information or photo's relating to the above.


Sincere best wishes, Derek Hallewell

Hi Derek,

Glad to see you made it to the Forum.

I have to ask you a few questions........

Do you have census and BMD's for these people? That's where you need to start if you haven't already. Don't forget to check the GRO especially as it gives mother maiden name.

Picture Sheffield maybe able to help with old photos of the area where they lived.
Personal photos would have to come from a relative.

We are always here if you need help.

Thank you Dave :-)

That is great info Dave as I was going down the Stevenson path, I would have wasted a lot of time with that. I will now investigate Mellor. Many thanks for your help.

Best wishes, Derek

Hi Elaine,

Thank you for your advice, I had not heard of the GRO ... but I will investigate that this morning. Thank you for taking time out to assist me in my quest.

Kind regards, Derek :relaxed:
