Wall Art and Photo Gifts from Sheffield City Archives
Wightman family and friends group of 14 individuals in unknown garden setting, c. 1910
The identifiable figures are thought to be as follows:
Back row (stood left to right):
1. Benjamin Arthur Wightman (1873 - 1937), eldest son of Arthur Wightman (1842 - 1924);
2. Mr Harland possibly possibly Charles Cecil Harland (1888 - 1946) one of the sons of the Rev. Albert A. Harland (1839 - 1921), vicar of Harefield, Middlesex. Charles Cecil Harland was also younger brother of Albert Harland (1869 - 1957) who became Sheffield MP for Ecclesall. Around the time of this photograph Charles Cecil Harland was living in Sheffield at 10 Psalter Lane where he was a law student, articled to Colonel Hebert Hughes C.B. C.M.G (1853 - 1917). Charles Cecil Harland went on to serve as an army Second-Lieutenant and later Captain in the First World War, in Gallipoli and in France, where he wounded four times, mentioned in dispatches and awarded the Military Cross and Croix the Guerre. He later become a director of Joseph & Henry Wilson Ltd, snuff manufacturers, Sheffield and later lived at Westbrook, Sharrow Vale Road, Sheffield. Note: the fourth figure on the back row, who looks very similar to this gentleman, may actually be Charles Cecil Harland instead or one of his brothers;
3. Alfred Edward Thompson (1865 - 1955), managing director of Joseph & Henry Wilson Ltd, snuff manufacturers, Sheffield, who lived at the time at Westbrook, Sharrow Vale Road, Sheffield;
5. Denis Conway Wightman (1876 - 1933), Arthur Wightmans third son;
6. Thomas Wilson Mappin (1877 - 1916), son of Sir Wilson Mappin J.P. (1848 - 1925) of Abbeydale Grange, who lived at the time at 26 Oakholme Road, Sheffield.
Front row (sat left to right):
2. Florence Ethel Broughton Thompson (nee Noon) (1863 - 1939), wife of Alfred Edward Thompson above;
4. Possibly Charles Edward Thompson (born in Sheffield in 1902), son of Alfred Edward Thompson (1865 - 1955) and Florence Ethel Broughton Thompson (nee Noon) (1863 - 1939) above;
5. or 6. One of these two ladies is probably Constance Mary Wightman (nee Lockwood) (1877 - 1944), wife of Henry Temple Wightman (1866 - 1920), Arthur Wightmans youngest brother;
7. Edith Wightman (1850 - 1943), wife of Arthur Wightman;

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a moment in time, showcasing the Wightman family and their friends gathered together in an unknown garden setting around 1910. The group consists of 14 individuals, each with their own unique story. In the back row, we have Benjamin Arthur Wightman, the eldest son of Arthur Wightman. Standing beside him is Mr Harland, possibly Charles Cecil Harland, who was living in Sheffield at the time and later became a prominent figure during World War I. Alfred Edward Thompson, the managing director of Joseph & Henry Wilson Ltd. , also joins them along with Denis Conway Wightman and Thomas Wilson Mappin. Moving to the front row, we see Florence Ethel Broughton Thompson seated next to her husband Alfred Edward Thompson. Possibly Charles Edward Thompson, their son born in Sheffield in 1902, sits nearby. One of two ladies is believed to be Constance Mary Wightman, wife of Henry Temple Wightman and sister-in-law to Arthur Wightman. Edith Wightman takes her place alongside them while Violet Maud Mappin completes this remarkable gathering as she sits beside her husband Thomas Wilson Mappin. Preserved by Sheffield City Archives from an original photograph held at Sheffield Libraries (arc02573), this image offers us a glimpse into the lives and connections that shaped this close-knit community over a century ago.
