Broomhill Community Library - Baronets and Beggars
Broomhill Community Library, Taptonville Road, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, S10 5BR
Geoffrey Harbord will explore how over 200 years the Staniforth family became leading scythe and sickle manufacturers before returning to obscurity. How social and local history sources can make sense of your family legends. Followed by an opportunity to discuss ways forward in your family history journey and to view Eva Wilkinson’s Broomhill archive.
This event was supported by leading family history website, Findmypast, who provided access to their records as part of their sponsorship of ‘Everyday Histories’, the festival theme. Discover your ancestors' stories at findmypast.co.uk
