My Grandfather was Robert Tayler STEEL, born Aug 16 1892, in Croydon, Surrey. His Father was William Lloyd Tayler STEEL, born Oct 14 1857, in Greenwich, Kent.

Most of the messages on the STEEL/STEEL Message Boards are relevant to the US. Is any researcher involved in STEEL/STEELE family history in the UK?

I have not hit a brick wall. It's a mountain!!

I'm searching for my STEEL/STEELE family in the UK. So far my search is back to the early 1700s in Worcestershire & Oxfordshire, England for STEEL.. My 3rd,4th & 5th grt. grandfathers were born in Worcestershire. My 3rd grt. gandfather died in Cropredy, Oxfordshire in 1853. In abt. 1801 in Banbury, Oxfordshire my 2nd grt. grandfather was born. This was the moment when my family's surname changed from STEEL to STEELE.

Good luck in your search.Have you used Ancestry UK.com? How about IGI (Church of Later Day Saints)? Parish Records

Yes, I have used Ancestry-UK, IGI and parish records but my STEEL(E) ancestors seem to have disappeared. I have come to the conclusion that maybe the recorder had found yet another spelling for the name, but I have not reached it yet!

You do not give any dates for your Grandfather. When (approximately) was he born? How much information do you have on him up to your 'brick wall'?

Hi, I'm looking for information on a Hannah Steele, who married William Henry Oliphant and had a daughter, Emma Oliphant, b 23 Jul 1876, 16 Queen Elizabeth St, Southwark, London.

They (or at least William) had another daughter, Mary Ann (Polly) Oliphant, b either 1873 in Shoreditch, London, or possibly 1867 Bermondsey, London.

I do not know Hannah or William's ages, though would expect they married some time around 1866-1873 (unless there are more undiscovered children).

Any info appreciated. I cannot find them in the 1881 census

HI my name is Mark steele i am now living in Swaless, but the Steele family I have been researching came from Ross on wye in Herefordshire.Most of the family were coopers but Thomas Steele b.1803 Ross was a brickmaker hence your brick wall!!!!.Thomas did the bold move to Swaless in the 1850"s and we have lived here since.There was another move of the Steels from Westbury on severn, Gloucestershire to Ross in 1740"s and that was Richard Steele b. 1725, that is the furthest i have gorn back.

hi, i my research of the steels I have come cross different ways of transcription as follows:
stool=two ee widened to make oo
stule+ two ee"s slimmed to make a u.
stale
style
there are a few more but they have been wiped from my computer. I have found 2 sisters that my great grandfather had and a stool on a marriage licence and census.
I hope this is of any help.

Hello Mark,

Thank you, this is very helpful to us STEEL(E) researchers. It never ceases to amaze me how some recorders are able to change last names. Many times when I look at the original documents I cannot deduce how they arrived at their decisions.

His mother's name was Ellen. but i am not sure what his father's name was. Either Edward or William. he immigrated to canada in 1842 i believe. to ontario

Sorry, my Steels were in Northern Ireland, around Belfast in the 1700s. Good luck with your search.

Hiya,

My grandfather was also called Robert Steele. I don't know about his date of birth but I do know that my FATHER was also born in Croydon and that his parents (his father being Robert Steele) had lived there since they were born.

I do wonder.....

If you don't mind me asking, who is your father/mother? (I mean, who's father was Robert Steele

My Mother, Florence Joan Tayler Steel(e) was the daughter of Robert Tayler Steel(e) and Theresa Florence Cutler. They were married in 1914 in Wandsworth, London.

Robert had the following siblings: May (1883), Leonard Lloyd (1886), George Bond (1889)and Florence Daisy (1891).

Any connection?

Best Wishes,

Therra

None that I can tell, unless you know of a Denis Michael Steele, Peter Steele or a Jack Steele.

Good luck with your search, and what a coincidence!
