need info on booths from woodhouse,skeltons from darnall and drake in darnall too

knew a Donald Drake from Studley rd darnall, we were kids together around 1945 - 46

Unless you have the luck to find a relation or someone who has already researched these families, specific questions generally work better. Can you give us some names and dates?

ive got lots of names.im on genes reunited.im trying to find horace drake born 1906 in sheffield.i only found out about him just b4 xmas it came as a shock to my dad because he didnt know he exsited.so when we thought we wernt related to any drakes in sheffield other than our family.turns out we were wrong.there is a guy on genes who is lookin for the same horace i am.ive emailed him but his membership must have lapsed..so i thought there could be some one on here that could help

hi thanx for the reply.do you know his fathers name at all?

Sorry Pauly, never knew his fathers name, it was always mister Drake.
But he lived at about No 20 Studley Rd, you could perhaps find out who was living at that address at that time through Genes.

retep - how do you do this??
I "googled" Kelly's street directories, but couldn't find anything more recent than 1910.
If I were to pm you an address, would you be willing to look it up for me?
(or tell me how do do it?) (1948 / 9)

Thanks in anticipation!!

In the 80's I worked with a Jack Skelton who lived somewhere in the Burngreave
Area.

Happy days

I worked with, many years ago, a Maureen Skelton who lived in a small sweet shop on Ridgeway Rd.
She said her grandfather Skelton owned a lot of land in Woodhouse and the fields on which they built the council estate were his. They are now named Skelton Lane etc.
Not sure this is of help.

Hi Pauly1664,
I research people's family trees for them for a small fee. If you are interested in using my services pm me your details and I will look into it for you.
I have managed to trace my family back to 1600's and have just undertaken some work for another person and traced a branch of their family back to 1620. It's up to you -no pressure.

Hi Paul

There's a Keith Skelton living in Darnall.

My Dad was friends with Drakes of Dolphin Street, Darnall, in the early 1900s. See Dolphin Street memorial thread on here. (Sorry this is 'late', am a relative newcomer and still trawling my way through all old threads!)

according to the 1901 census there are only 3 families called drake living in darnall .one is at 16 dolphin street

Pauly1664 - if you look at 'Does Anyone Remember Dolphin Street' someone called Bobbers says he is the grandson of Drakes from Dolphin Street. Might help.

Hi pauly1664 my mum is a Skelton 1 of 7 she lived on Coleridge rd at Darnall her parents were Harry & Phyllis Skelton let me know if you want more info.

My great grandfather was Fredrick Skelton who came out of Sheffield in the 1880's...there were lots of Skelton's there then. His brother CT Skelton remained in Sheffield and founded the CT Skelton and Co small farm implements factory.

Are you Skelton ?

obviously the family name has changed. Most of the Skelton's of my family who came over to North America from Sheffield in the 1880's are buried here in Hamilton, Ontario.

somehow part of the last message didn't make it to the forum...my grandmother was a Skelton

Hi thank's for your reply are you trying to trace your family tree & if so is it the Darnall Skeltons that you are intrested in or is there another branch of Skeltons in the Sheffield area which you might have a connection with .

I think Skeltons had a shop haf way down Staniforth Road........sorry I can't help you further.

need info on booths from woodhouse,skeltons from darnall and drake in darnall too

Hi pauly, probably not the 'booth' you mean but I'm looking for Gordon Booth, lived at 53 Fawcett Street in 1947.
