Have you ever read a book called Buffers and Grinders by Bert Housley? I think there is one in the central library local history section.

the production director where i work his surname is housley.

I have Housley family history back to 1680's, for most Yorkshire born Howsley Housley Houseley will exchange information.

My GtUncle was John Vincent Nolan, his daughter Mary married Frederick Joseph Housley on 1st September 1942, he was 23 years old,& was a clerk in the steelworks,& lived at 69 fircroft avenue.His fathers name was Frederick James Housley,occupation was an electrician.Does any one know if these people are still around, or did they have any family. i have been trying to trace them for several years.As i live in Ireland now,it is very difficult.

Hi Retep.

I have Housley family history back to 1680's, for most Yorkshire born Howsley Housley Houseley will exchange information.

I am in contact with Herbert Housley who wrote the book Back to the Grindstone...His father was a "Little Mester" and Herbert continued with the firm after his fathers death.

Herbert is researching his family history, with my help.

If you want to contact him I'll email him and ask if it is OK to give you his email address.
His brother Charles died whilst a Japanese P.O.W.

Kind Regards

Hi Retep, we have 'spoken' before on here. My 5th great grandmother was Hannah Housley (1750 - 1845 Sheffield) and she was married to a Joseph Oldale (10 Sep 1748 - May 1803 Sheffield) and had at least 9 children.

Hi. I have read Bert Houseley's book and feel we must have bumped into each other , we are the same age and frequented all the places he mentions, City Hall ,Cutlers .mon; thurs; sat; nights dances ,happy memories Arthur.

Is this the marriage
Hannah Housley--Joseph Ouldale 4 jan 1771 Sheff.

Sure is Retep, they married at St. Peter's...now the cathedral of course. Do you know of these folk? I am descended from their daughter Sarah Oldale who married a Georgius Barber.

Hi retep and all,
What is the protocol for contacting to exchange info pictures etc. Do we put our emails on here or what?

Florrie Housley married my granny's brother and became Mrs Harry Burn. We're all related if we go back far enough !

Lived on Watery Street and died at Buchanan Road, aged 60, if I remember rightly.

Hi Retep,
I've hijacked my husbands log-in:hihi: :hihi: We met when you came down to the Coach and Horses. The CD you gave me was fantastic and I still use it now - after what, it must be two and a half years. We didn't actually get the chance to talk about the more up to date Housleys. My husbands family started the Housley cutlery firm and thru' talking to his mum I've gleaned a fair bit of info. I don't actually know where his Housleys and mine tie in but its not in the last century. We need to meet up again.

Hi,
I'm another Housley. What period does your info cover? I have at least 3 lines linked back to early 1700s late 1600's. It includes actresses at the turn of the last century. Happy to swop info preferably by CD.

Hi Sorry for the long silence but my family tree is now shorter by 2 and the result has been the need for a lot of support for my wife and son and daughter in law. I've just started to pick up the family history again and would very much like to swop information as I said earlier on the Forum

I have a mystery - Elizabeth Housley born 1830 married William Shirtcliffe but she had two children Emily and Charles before the marriage date. Now when Emily married she married using Emily Housley and used the name of George Housley who was actually her grandfather - have you come across this branch in your research!

I haven't come across that. I have heard of people making up a name of a father or using a relative's name on a marriage certificate if they were born out of wedlock. I guess it was putting on a good face in front of their in laws.

All my Housleys were registered as Hardy. Their father was Henry Hardy and their mother was Ann, maiden name Helliwell. By 1881 the parents had separated. On the census some of the children had an H given as a middle initial. In the 1891 and 1901 census records that H became Housley and some of them had dropped the Hardy. My great grandmother used the name Sarah Elizabeth Housley Hardy on her marriage certificate in 1898 and used the name Sarah Housley as her maiden name on her first child's birth certificate in 1900. Sarah's siblings were: Mary Ann Hardy b ca 1860, Hannah Hardy b ca 1865, George Housley b ca 1870, Jarvis Hardy b ca 1873, Joseph Housley b ca 1875, Sarah Elizabeth Housley 1877 and Nancy Housley 1879. There are no signs that a man named Housley lived with their mother who always referred to herself as Ann Hardy and as married even though Henry was living at a separate residence across town from 1881 until his death.

Anyone trying to follow their family tree will have a difficult time with this!

Do you have a Nancy Housley b c1855 that marries a Joseph Fleetwood, they have at least one son John b c1880????

Martin

Hi Retep

Do you have a Nancy Housley b c1855 that marries a Joseph Fleetwood, they have at least one son John b c1880????

Martin

You will have to confirm Nancy's father on marriage cert.

There is Nancy daughter of Christopher Housley who would fit the bill, they are at Grenoside 1861.

notes,for christopher housley married 1841 rotherham
found on 1851 with charlotte at grenoside
henry 9
elizabeth 7
christopher 5
joseph 1
and father jarvis age 78

That would fit quite nicely with the Fleetwoods as they were nearly all from Grenoside, will update you when i find more details.
Have just found them on 1891 census they have 5 Children but also living with them are 2 nephews Arthur & Orlander Housley aged 19 & 17 respectively if this helps, although they are mistranscribed as Haisley. Orlanda is living with them in 1901 census too.

Thanks

Hi VMAX

I'm the Herbert Housley who wrote "Grinders & Buffers" and "Back To The Grindstone", I'm intrigued to know who your great gran was. My dad, also Herbert Housley, had four sisters but only two of them Ada and Lily had any children, which of those was your great gran? His other two sisters were Dolly & Hetty, his brothers were John, Joe and Charles who died in WW1, my own brother Charles, named after dad's brother, died as a Japanese POW on the notorious Burma railway. I've visited his grave.

On June 4th 2008, my wife and I became great grandparents for the first time, I'll be 83 next September and we celebrate our diamond wedding (60 years) next month.

I have Elizabeth marrying William as her first husband with son Charles Shirtcliffe born 1849.
Then marrying John Foster born 1849, (At the time of their marriage 27 Dec 1869 in St Georges Church, Sheffield. Elizabeth's son Charles was the same age as his stepfather) on their wedding certificate, Elizabeth said she was 32 and John said he was 27 so that the aged gap of 19 years was not noticeable!
Elizabeth and John had a daughter Florence Foster born 1871 in Sheffield... buried 1935 City Road Cemetary, Sheffield, South Yorkshire (No 23462 Section II)
Florence had a son Charles Alfred Foster b: 29 Jul 1895 in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.. father unknown. Charles married Beatrice Ida Whomersley and had 11 children.
Elizabeth 1830 was the daughter of George Housley and Harriot Kirkby, Sister to Barnet.

You may have to send for the marriage certificate for confirmation of Mary Anne's Father, or a possible look up from someone who uses the Archives, a possibility would be Joseph as there is a christening Dec 1829 Ecclesfield on the LDS Family Search,
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true

If there is a link back to Housley Hall it would have to be at least mid 1550's,
I have a picture of Housley Hall, you will need five posts before I can send a link by PM.

Thanks i will have a look for the marriage and christening of Joseph.

Hello, my appologies for not getting back to you after all this time, but somehow ive overlooked your reply, if its still possible, could you please let me know if i can contact Fredereick Housley,

Edith married-Robert Gompertz

Grace - died on stage
Hi,
I'm researching the Gompertz family and notice you have Robert marrying Edith Housley which I think was in West Derby 1891.
Do you have any info on this?

Hi,

I only have her family history and the census information for Robert.
There seems to be a bit of history for Robert on the net that ties in to census information.

I am a descendant of the Housleys. I have information back to Susan Housley who died in 1743, but I do not know who her parents are. Does anyone have that information? I have seached a long time and would really appreciate any information that you have

Thank you so much!

Hi Bluemoon, I have a lot of Housleys, and so a little more info on Susan would help me to see if she's on my tree, or at least allow me to add her to mine. I assume you have info on her immediate descendants, and siblings of hers would also help.

I only have her family history and the census information for Robert.

Edith was one of my great aunts.I have some family info on the Gompertz and quite a lot about the great Aunts and their ancestors including photographs and I am slowly building a professional (acting) picture

Edith was one of my great aunts.I have some family info on the Gompertz and quite a lot about the great Aunts and their ancestors including photographs and I am slowly building a professional (acting) picture

Edith seems to have done well as Eva in 'Uncle Toms Cabin', looks like they played all around the Country, three sisters Grace, Edith and Marie in 'A Double Marriage' Jan 1889 New Theatre Royal Liverpool.

Thanks retep; every bit helps. What I want to able to do is find the blank periods when each Aunt was abroad. I know that Marie was acting in South Africa with her husband at some time and that Edith was acting in India and the family story is that she met her second husband there, but until I find the gaps in their English careers there's no point in guessing.

I am looking for Susan Hurst (1690-1743)'s parents. She was married to Joseph Housley (1688-1777). Does anyone know who they were?
I am from that line also.
Thank you!

Hi GrdonPH,
The Housley line I am from is:
Susan Hurst (1690-1743), married to Joseph Housley (1688-1777) from Ecclesfield

Their son was Joseph Housley (1718-1803), married to Martha Bailey (1733-1786) also from Ecclesfield

Their son was Isaac Housley (1748-1823), married to Elisabeth Wright (1752-)

I am wondering who Susan Hurst's parents were. I can't seem to find them.

Thank you so much!

I have just checked my tree and Barnett son of Joseph and Martha(Bailey) is my 5th great grandfather. I wonder if Martha was his second marriage because there is quite an age difference?

I'm of the thoughts that the Martha Bailey 1833 could be another one, as there is a burial for John Bailey Housley born in 1742 buried 1758 age 16 to Joseph and Martha

I think you're right.

Does anyone know the dates for Martha Bailey married to Joseph Housley (1718-1803)?

Martha Bailey baptised 24th Oct 1733 in Ecclesfield. Hope that helps.

Just seen that Martha Bailey married Joseph Housley on 29th Aug 1750. Both dates are in Ecclesfield. She died in 1786

Here's the headstone GPH, needs further research on Martha as you can see her sister Elizabeth would have been born c1718.


http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h182/sretep/johnbaileyhousley.jpg

I don't understand about Martha's sister, Elizabeth. I can't read exactly what the headstone says.

Thank you for all your help!

I did know of a Steve Housley (could be spelled differently) I had acquaintances with him through business. It seems that long ago but he was either in the removal or scrap business...I think it was scrap. Thinking about it it could be both as there was/is a Housley's removals. Sorry to be vague.

I don't understand about Martha's sister, Elizabeth. I can't read exactly what the headstone says.

Basics are,
John Bailey aged 16 son of Joseph and Martha Houselay of Grenoside
Departed his life 3rd December 1758.
Also Elizabeth Bailey, sister to Martha Houselay, Died 16 May 1769 age 51.

Thank you!

Hi Retep

Do you have a Nancy Housley b c1855 that marries a Joseph Fleetwood, they have at least one son John b c1880????

Hi - I'm researching the same person. Not sure if her mother is Charlotte who appears to have died in 1855. Have found a birth record for Nancy, for first quarter of 1856. Where does your b c1855 for Nancy come from?

That's great, thanks. It was the mother's death date that I had wrong. If she died in 1857, it all makes sense.

Incidentally, re the Mosely -did you notice she's down as a Servant, not daughter? But I think it's the census taker's error - there's an Elizabeth daughter in other censuses.

She is down as a daughter, I would think a census takers error on surname Moseleys next door.

(Looking closer, Elizabeth Moseley is the daughter - servant is her occupation, not her relationship to head of household, so the surname's a mis-transcription, should be Housley, as confirmed for this household in the 1851 census).

Now trying to find Charlotte's maiden name. ..

i am a housley lol

You would need the marriage details to find who Christophers parents are.
(Archives or mormon church should have them)
Marriages Jun 1841
Housley Charlotte Rotherham 22 342
Housley Christopher Rotherham 22 342

1841 Census it looks like they are possibly with Jarvice Housley's sister Elizabeth Ward nee Housley at Grenoside

That's really useful, thanks retep

It looks like she was already a Housely. I've ordered the marriage certificate to find out the respective parents' names

Hi Retep,

Got the marriage cert for Chistopher and Charlotte Housely, June 3rd 1841, parish church, Rotherham. His father's name is not given, but her maiden name is Housely and her father is Jarvis Housely. So the 1851 census which shows the "Jervis" in the house as father, is her father not his. For your records, their ages aren't shown on the cert, it just seems to say "full age". His profession is Filesmith, and the residence for both at the time of marriage is Wellgate.

Charlotte is christened at Ecclesfield 1819 to Jervice Houseley and Ann Barker.

Hi Retep

Thanks for your help

Christopher and Charlotte where married just three days before the 1841 census takers came round, but they were both Housleys prior to tying the knot.

I'd love to discover at least one of the parents of Christopher Housley, Charlotte's husband... I can't find his birth anywhere, and no father is mentioned on the marriage certificate. It's clear (I think) that the Jervis Housely given as "father" in the 1851 census is actually her father, not his.

Got any ideas?

Steve

Thanks again Retep. Christopher's occupation looks like File Cutter but I think it's Tile Cutter, looking at the handwriting all the Ts look like Fs. I'll let you know if I get anywhere with discovering his ancestry.

I'm searching for Leonard Housley. May have been married to Evangeline..... Don't know maiden name. Or married to a 'Rita Stevens'.

I do know that in 1947 he lived at 19 Powell Street and had at least 1 daughter Sylvia. His profession is down as 'Welder and (*accfy*can't read the writing;) line burner whatever that was.

Do you have an age for Sylvia, the profession will be acetylene burner.

Hi retep, the only guide to Sylvias age was *19* in 1947 when she married. She married a Gordon Booth at Parish Church of St George with St Steven. Dec 26th 1947.
Gorgon Booth lived at 53 Fawcett Street, father Walter Booth.

Thanks for clearing up the profession :) Sylvia is down as a scissor dresser. Maybe they worked at the same place.

Whoops I mis spelt *Gordon* I'm sure he was not a gorgon lol

According to my book English Surnames Housely comes from Housely Hall in Ecclefield

According to my book English Surnames Housely comes from Housely Hall in Ecclefield

Housley goes back beyond the Hall.

I lived in Tinsley many moons ago,near the infants shool. There was Ernest Housley married to Hazel,with two daughters,Sharon and Linda. Linda was a good friend,wow,I wonder what happend to her?

Housley goes back beyond the Hall.

Im not saying the name began with the hall, my referance book just says its connected to the hall, usually the surname comes from a place or an occupation whether its English or what ever other nationality.

Last name: Ousley


This interesting name is of early medieval English origin, and is a locational surname deriving from the place called Housley in West Yorkshire, near Ecclesfield, which has now all but disappeared and is remembered only in the name of "Housley Hall", and in the modern surnames of those descendants of the former inhabitants. The name means "the glade, grove or meadow of the house", derived from the Olde English pre 7th Century "hus", house, and "leah", grove, clearing in a wood, meadow or pasture land. The majority of the medieval population lived in cottages or huts rather than houses, so the "house" in the placename would have been a religious house or simply the local "great house", as in Housley Hall. Locational surnames, such as this, were originally given to the Lord of the Manor, or as a means of identification to those who left their place of origin to settle elsewhere. Regional and dialectal differences subsequently produced variations in the spelling of the name which, in the modern idiom, is found as: Hous(e)ley, Howsley, Houselee, and Ousley. The marriage of John Housley and Isabel Hill was recorded at Rotherham, Yorkshire, on August 13th, 1559, and on April 11th 1790 Joseph Housley, an infant, was christened at Manchester Cathedral, Lancashire. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Johannes de Houselay, which was dated 1379, in the "Yorkshire Poll Tax Returns", during the reign of King Richard 11, known as "Richard of Bordeaux", 1377 - 1399. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Hi, My Grandmother was Ada Oldale. Joseph Oldale was her great great great grandfather, who married Hannah Housley so i suppose we are related in some albeit distant way.:)

I knew Bert Housley who lived on Mauncer crescent in Woodhouse he had an older brother whos name I can't remember. I lost touch with Bert when he joined the RAF late 1950's

Hi, My Grandmother was Ada Oldale. Joseph Oldale was her great great great grandfather, who married Hannah Housley so i suppose we are related in some albeit distant way.:)

Most Yorkshire Housley's are related,
Oldale's possibly robbed of the area of Millhouses, wonder what that would be worth nowadays.

Iused to work with a fella called Harry Housley in the late 60s.He went working in Saudi Arabia,as far as I know he ended up living there.He would be in his mid 60s now.Think he used to live on Shiregreen but not 100% sure.Great bloke though,always in the Black Swan in town.:loopy:

Hello, my appologies for not getting back to you after all this time, but somehow ive overlooked your reply, if its still possible, could you please let me know if i can contact Fredereick Housley,

Frederick Housley was my Grandad - he died in Boston Hospital England in 1998 after retiring to Lincolnshire.

His wife, my Nanna died peacefully 20th December 2011 in a residential home in Spalding.

Nanna was Mary Nolan, only daughter of John Vincent Nolan who ran the Halfway House Pub 211-213 Attercliffe Road Sheffield which was bombed on the 15th December 1940.

Would be good to have a tree for the Nolans from Mary back.

Thanks in anticipation.
