Hello everyone. I have recently joined this site in the hopes that someone can help me in finding our family history.

I am looking for anyone with any information on Frank Wood: born 1889. We do have the family history back to Samuel wood of 1795 but I have some information that Frank worked at Hadfields making munitions during the 1st world war........does anyone have any information on Hadfields at that time.
Also, the Cutlers trade......I would be very interested to hear about any information for John Wood.....Cutler, William Wood & Co. and Wood, Walsh & Co.
Any of this information would be appreciated.
I know some of the family are buried at the General cemetry Sheffield, others are at the All Saints, ecclesall Parish Church.....Marriages (some of which were at Heeley Parish church), I have some addresses such as Button Lane, Spring Road, Prospect Road....I would love to know more about any of these please.....Also, if anyone out there gets around the Parish Church grave, I would really appreciate a Look up or photo of a particular grave.....
I know....I don't ask a lot do I? ;) I just don't live near Sheffield at all and would kindly like to know some more of the history.
Thank you all for reading,
Woody

I recently did some research for a friend on the Wood family in Sheffield and they had a Frank Wood in the family but born in the 20th century if my mind serves me correctly. Their family have connections with Stannington and Crookes- do you think they were related?

Hi Rivelin 6

Unfortunatley no.........mmmmmmm. I am looking for samuel Wood born around 1795.
Esther Wood born around 1796......Faith Wood died in 1912 at Prospect Road, Norton..? Any idea where she would have been buried please?

I was wrong about the Frank Wood I researched he was born 1873. This is him. I will have a think about the other ones. Prospect Road is Heeley so could be around that area but will take a look.


Name: Frank Wood
Age: 28
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1873
Relation: Head
Spouse's Name: Alathea
Gender: Male
Where born: Sheffield, Yorkshire, England

Civil Parish: Nether Hallam
Ecclesiastical parish: St Bartholomew
Town: Sheffield
County/Island: Yorkshire
Country: England

Hello and thank you once again for your help. That Frank Wood is not my Frank unfortunately as My Frank was born in 1889 in Sheffield.......his mother was Eliza Jane Wood (nee Walton) and his Father was John Wood son of William Wood.......
William Wood was the son of Samuel Wood and Esther (don't know her surname as can't find the marriage of yet)....

It all gets a bit confusing when you get so far back...
Thanks again,
Woody

Hi Woody,
I have found an Esther Wood buried on 23rd May 1860 aged 66 in St Mary's and a Samuel buried 1873, no age, same place so looks like this may be them. Haven't found Faith yet but I'll keep trying.

I have Wood's in my familly tree living & born in Sheffield during the 1890's but mine appear to have come from Essex so doubt that it's the same family.
The address i have associated with them is St Philips Road.

Have checked the pallots marriage index 1790 - 1837 and there appears to be only one marrriage between a Samuel Wood and someone by the name of Esther.

This was in 1812 in St Marylebone and was an Esther Cooper. It is possible that this is the one as you will no doubt know at the 1841 census Samuel and Esther already have a 24 year old daughter putting her birth at approx 1817.

Hi Devlin
Thank you very much.......this is amazing so many people willing to help, thank you all so very much. This does sound very likely to be my Samuel and esther.....This is smashing.

Thank you kindly
Woody:)

Gingerbarf......no, doesn't seem to be the same Wood family....shame though...

WOW again.......sounds great. This does sound very much like my Esther and Samuel, this is a real breakthrough....thank you
Woody

Rivelin....sorry, but were is St Marys?

Hello again, You don't happen to know where this St Marylebone is by any chance do you? Thank you

Westminster......... don't know if this makes it less likely to be them but he/she could have been in service or something etc....

Rivelin....sorry, but were is St Marys?
It's near Heeley and Sheffield United Football Club. If you put St Mary's Church Bramall Lane Sheffield into your search engine it will give you the precise location.

My brother married into a Wood family @1949, they lived at the first house on Papermill Road on the Shiregreen estate.

They had two daughters Serina Wood & Rose Ann Wood.

Any Help?

Hi.

Hello everyone. I have recently joined this site in the hopes that someone can help me in finding our family history.

Have you tried posting on one of the family history sites. People on these have a number of transcriptions including baptisms, marriages and burials.

If you have burials at Heeley Christ Church I have a list of the Monumental Inscriptions that I have produced for S&DFHS.

www.sheffieldfhs.org.uk

Westminster......... don't know if this makes it less likely to be them but he/she could have been in service or something etc....

Maybe yes, it is hard to say but it does sound the right times for my Samuel and Esther.....I can't see why it wouldn't be otherwise. Thank you for your help much appreciated..

Hi Tuppie......Yes I have tried several postings over the years but I will try the S&DFHS as I was away from family research for 4 years and so I haven't tried that just yet. Thank you Kindly

I'm off on holiday tomorrow but when I come back I will pop down to the Archives and see if there is any grave reference number and then I could look them up for you- My partner lives very near by. Not able to find Faith but if she died as a child she maybe in a commual grave.

Hi Lois
That could well be....The trouble is I don't know Esthers maiden name so a bit confusing but 1815 could well be about right and st Peters cathedral sounds more the place.......Esther was born around 1796 and William around 1795 so making them both around 20...
Also, Faith Wood died in 1912 at prospect road, Norton....she was 84 years old when she died....I know when she died and where I just can't find her burial......I have found her husband in the General cemetry with his two sons and I know Our Grandpa John Wood is buried in ALL Saints, Ecclesall.....but Faiths gone missing.....
She had a son in law called Joe Hatfield , he lived in Totley Rise at the time of death.
Anyway, I will stop there and wish you a very happy holiday, hope you have a geat time and thank you so much for your help.
Take care, Woody

Hi Lois
Just a quick message to update, I have had some help from some of the Sheffield indexers and it seems the Esther Wood burial you found at st Mary's bramall lane is correct .....Also the fact that Samuel died in 1873 in Pearl street, haven't confirmed if it was the same burial place yet though. Also, the Esther and Samuel wedding is looking more and more likely to be correct as the timescales fit in.....The only thing is I need to confirm the wedding or the birth of Samuel to get a stage further back.
Faiths burial place is proving extremely difficult......I have emailed numerous churches and they have been extremely helpful but still can't find her.....just wanted to give you a quick update though and say thank you for finding Samuel and Esthers death years for me, that helped a lot.
Yours
Woody

Question for Rivelin: You answered one of my threads a few weeks ago with the information below, could I just ask if you don't mind it says Samuel buried 1873, same place no age..... Where did you find this? is he buried in St. Marys also? or just the same place living?
Thanks Woody

If they were C of E that would be St James Church in Norton. If so then you're in luck - Sheffield Archives has records of births marriages and burials right back to the 15 hundreds. They are on Shoreham St. just across from Midland Station. They are also on the net - try Sheffield Archives or St James Norton. They have an index at the offices that I haven't seen on the internet. Good luck

Hi, Thank you for that information, very appreciated. I shall give it a go.

St James Norton burial registers have been transcribed by the Sheffield and District FHS from 1813 to 1947 and she Faith is not listed in those.

They are available on their churchyards burials disc.

Hi Tuppie and thank you for looking for Faith in the records for me, very much appreciated. I have had lots of help from other family history boards and reverands of churches etc...St. James Norton Rev was very helpful and no she wasnt to be found anywhere. I am afraid its one I have to give up the search for at the moment. Thank you very kindly for your help.
