This is a list of Expats and Friends of Sheffield & District. Expats have a special page but listings are now combined into the one below. The Sheffield Expats page can be found at
Sheffield Expats - lots of information and links of use to expats. There is also a Sheffield Expats Mailing List which is free to join and is a lively old group. It is well worth anyone with an interest in the city joining up to this list (free membership via Yahoo Groups).
Instead of confining this list to Expats, we are now opening up the list to anyone, expats or still-here, to allow them list their details and try to trace their old friends from school, from their neighbourhood, from work, or wherever. Listings WILL BE REMOVED AFTER 6 MONTHS to ensure that emails, contact details and messages are kept fresh. If your listing is removed, or is close to removal (check the 'Date Posted' date against your listing), just submit a new Registration Form to ensure that you stay listed. If you are new member, just list your details and keep looking to see if you can meet up again with your friends from the past. Use the Registration Form to enter your details, and keep your fingers crossed that your entry will be spotted. |

Hey! Anyone out there remember me? I went to the Gregg School in Broohill from 1952 to 1955 before we up and moved down to Sussex. Back then I was known as Charles Austen. I remember Richard Arnold was headmaster of the school. Little did I know in those tender years what was in store for me.
National Service in the army out in Malaya, followed by emigration to Canada and then signed up in the U.S army in order to get residency in that country. Did a year of that in Nam - no more to be said on that experience Then eight years as a Los Angeles policeman before being invalided out. Since then worked for city government and due to retire next year.
I had a a neighbour, Jeff Kelly, when we lived in Rokeby Road, Parson Cross. Saw him on the City Grammar School web site. Anyway, if anyone is still around who may possibly remember me I'd be more than glad to hear from them.
Looking for anyone who might remember Charles "Charlie" Austen from the Gregg School. Was there 1952-1955.
