Twelves family

Does anyone know anything about the Twelves family? They were local chemists with a shop in town and also one on Whit Moor I believe. Anyone? Thanks

I know a Mick Twelves, been a friend since the 1970s, don't know if he is related.

I'll give him a bell and ask him if you like.

Thanks Pete. That would be great. I'm particularly interested in Reginald Elliott Twelves and when the business seemed to disappear.

Just gave him a call and I'm afraid he's not related.

Apparently he got into the family tree thingy a few years back and he couldn't find any connection, but, if you're interested there were some Twelves folks out in Ashford in the Water that had a connection to Chesterfield. May be nothing in it but just thought you'd want to know.

Good luck!

I'm sure I know of a family called Twelves. I'll think about it cos it ain't coming to me now.

Surprising there's no connection, not a common name

[Pete]

That's what I thought Andy.

Thanks guys. I'm begining to think that the chemist side of the family died out in the sixties. Does anyone remember their shops?
