Member Since: March 2008 Posts: 5 Send Message	I am trying to find the date and place of death of my great-grandfather Francis Duffin. He was born in Nottingham in 1866 the son of William Duffin and Frances Maria Sladen. He married my great-grandmother Clara Pinchess in Sheffield in 1890. He left the family home around 1920 he was a master butcher. I have tried all avenues and would love to solve the mystery after all this time. His son Clement was my grandad any help will be gratefully received.

Member Since: March 2008 Posts: 5 Send Message	Hi There Many thanks for the information I have tracked Francis' life up to 1920 he appeared in the Kellys Directory as still having a butchers shop in Sheffield. I can only guess it was after the 1911 census he decided to change career. My great grandmother ran a drapery shop from 300 Bellhouse Road until her death in 1925.
