The family of William Henry Broughton in Sheffield

Mrs W.H.Broughton,Margaret & Geoff

 Rather an odd one this photograph as I cannot see any links with my ancestors . The caption underneath the photograph was all the information that was written on the reverse . Sheffield is on the front of the photograph and from the combined information I was able to discover that this is the family of William Henry Broughton who was born about 1875 in Asterby, Lincolnshire but was living at 166 Oakbrook Road, Sheffield on the 1911 Census . His occupation described as 'Grocer,Wine & Spirit Dealer'.

 So to the people in the actual photograph now . We have William's wife Mary Ellen (nee Spry ) who was born about 1884 . We also have William and Mary's children Margaret Spry Broughton (born 1909 who went on to marry Francis J Pringle in 1930.) and Geoffrey Cornish Broughton who was born 25th September 1914 ( and died in April 1987). Judging by the children's ages it would seem this photograph was took in the early 1920's.
