Retracing Salford

01 - Your Name<br> = Keith Johnson (Shorrocks)

02 - Your Email Address<br> = kj.transitions.nz@clear.net.nz

03 - Let us know your question. <br> = I would much appreciate any help that folks can give in tracing the descendants of the Shorrocks family that my grandfather left behind when he moved to south London around 1903-05 and changed his name from Harry Shorrocks to Harry Johnson.

Harry was born in 1879 in Salford, the son of Robert Edwin Shorrocks (Harry's mother's maiden name was Fanny Eliza Mallinson). Robert Edwin Shorrocks was one of a long line of Salford Brushmanufacturers - including Harry's grandfather Walter, and his great grandfather James (born around 1794). Walter and his family lived in Islington Street and R.E. Shorrocks and his family lived for a time in Nadine Street.

Harry had a brother Robert Mallinson Shorrocks (born 1885) and I would particularly like to make contact with Robert M. Shorrock's descendants (& also those of Harry's sisters Louisa b1881, Pauline b1885, Fanny b1891, and Annie b1900). And I am very interested of course in identifying why Harry changed his name!
