Hi Petal :wave:
Welcome to Sheffieldforum.

Are you in Sheffield, or are you one of our 'exile' members?

Okay. Open season :mad:

I checked this person was still on line before and after I posted :mad:

No response




Can we have a new class of membership for people who ask for relatives and then disappear? We can call it 'post-and-go' :D

Hi Strix,no i'm not in Sheffield,and i'm sorry for just posting and going,i didn't have a lot of time on the pc because my partner uses it for work.sorry Petal

There's been a lot of this going on on here Petal. There have been a lot of people asking for relatives or help with homework who don't even bother to come back, so we find we've been wasting our time trying to help.

Glad to see you're not one of those :thumbsup:

I hope somebody knows something useful for you. Can you give any more details? Any idea what jobs they did?

Hi Strix,thanks i'm sure margaret or Patricia was in one of the forces,not sure which one though,my mother married Kenneth Parkinson and they had a daughter Trenna whilst living in sheffield,then they moved to portsmouth round about 1958.they went on to have 7 more children ,and the sad thing is that we have family out there somewhere which we have never met.Im 44 now and feel that we have all missed out.It would be so lovely to finally meet our family.So if there is anyone out there who does know the where abouts of any of the family i would be extremely greatful.thankyou all so much for taking the time to read this .Petal

Looks like we're struggling here, Petal ;)

Prod 'search' on the left hand side, and put 'pagehall' in the box. Join in some threads, but don't spam them with your query. Making friends on here is a good way to get answers :thumbsup:

You never know - somebody may remember to ask Aunt Aggie if she remembers them if you make friends :)

There are only 5 CA Booth in the BT Directory with Sheffield postcodes. Why not give them a call?

Go to www.bt.com and go down to the bottom left of the page to see the link to directory enquiries.

I was at school with Kathy Booth who will be 45/6 now and lived on Bolsover Road or Idsworth Rd, does that ring any bells.

Ok thanks strix will do .petal

Hi cgksheff have checked them will give them a call thanks.Petal

Hi cycleracer thanks but no it doesnt,but it could be the daughter of my uncle Charles did you happen to know what her fathers christian name was?.There was only the 2 sisters, ,Margaret and Patricia think Margaret was born in 1937 and Patricia in 1939,Charles Arthur was 1948,my mother Brenda was born in 36 i think.I know my mothers parents names they were Florence Booth nee(Bennet) born 1915, and Charles Joseph Booth,and my mums grandparents were Florence Bennet not sure of her maiden name,born 1890 or 1891 and Thomas Arthur Bennet.thats all the information i have at the moment.petal. Again thanks for the help,all of you.

Petal, do you know of any "Ladsons" in the Booth family?

My partners Great Grandma was a Booth and she married a Ladson. This Mrs Booth (he cant rmember her 1st name) was born in 1900 and lived in shiregreen. She had two sons, Arthur and Dennis Ladson, sadly though Dennis died when he was two in a drowning accident in wooley woods.

Hi x_ Louise_x no sorry not heard of any,im sure my grandmothers name was Florence Bennet ,she was married to a Charles Joseph Booth,then they had four children Brenda,Margaret,Patricia and Charles Arthur.Her mother was also Florence Bennet not sure of her maiden name,Or her husbands first name his surname would have been Bennet. Thanks for replying anyway ,and good luck.Petal

i think it may charles booth that married my husbands grandma. She was gladys Ladson (from the 1st marriage) and her maiden name was Jepson. After Arthur her first husband died, she remarried a Charles Booth.
