Frank Needham b.Sheffield 1844 d. Barnsley 1907
« on: Tuesday 23 June 09 19:57 UTC (UK) »

I am searching for relatives of my great grandfather Frank Needham. He married first Lucy Ann Scarfe in1864. My grandmother, Susan Kate Needham was born in 1875.
Susan became deaf at a young age and eventually married my grandfather (who was also deaf) in 1901.
Lucy died in 1879 and Frank remarried the same year to Annie Wilson (a widow or divorcee).
Frank was an Iron Founder and was an employer towards the end of his working life.
Censuses record that he lived at 10, 12 and 14 Middlesex Street, Barnsley over the years.
Frank and Lucy's other children were, Harriet, William Henry and Herbert Arthur.
Frank had 2 children with Annie Wilson, Walter and Ethel Jane.
Are there any of Franks descendants out there who can contact me and advise me if any photos exist of him or members of his family?

bigbazza, Hi and welcome to rootschat Grin

May I make two suggestions? Why not check out Surnames on RC and add your own interests to the list. At the top of this page click on 4th button on left Surnames, and take it from there-.

Second, have you thought that maybe there was an obit [ & photo?] in Barnsley newspaper about him when he died? Just possible if he was a local employer. You'd need to have a clear idea when he died for that.

Note that in 1879, Annie Wilson was most likely a widow, or a "widow" (family had split up), as divorce was extremely difficult and expensive to obtain at that time.

Any relation to the firm "Needham Brothers" of Barnsley? Barnsley public library seems to have a copy of a book called "Eight decades of progress at Needham Brothers and Brown Ltd", which may be a clue to what you're looking for.
