Mods - please move if it shouldn't be in here.
I am trying to trace the indirect family of Frank Harrison, tobacconist, who died in Chesterfield in 1920. He had two daughters: Mary Jane, who married a solicitor named George Thomas Short, and Mabel Florence, who married an architect & surveyor named Charles Herbert Wagstaff.
Short died in Sheffield in 1927 and may have had some connection with the family that had the shot-firing business on Sheffield Road.
Wagstaff died in Chesterfield in 1967.
My interest? I once saw an article in a well-old Derbyshire Times that said that Frank Harrison had been associated with the Chesterfield FC for a long time and had kept meticulous records of the club's history. I would very much like to know if such things still existed! Short was also, I think, the last financial secretary of The Chesterfield Town FC, and the solicitor who presided over the voluntary liquidation of that club in 1915, and I want to find out if any records of that club - minute books, and the like - still exist.
Any remaining family will only be distant relatives, and not blood-related to Frank, since I believe both his daughters married so late as to die without issue (or at least, without any that I've found.) It's a long shot, but long shots often win "Goal of the Season!"
Cheers
Stuart
