How an ordinary Sheffield family became grand - and ordinary again!
About this Event

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.
