There are a lot of O'briens in Sheffield.There was a family of O'briens lived on Cromford St years ago. I knew Desmond O' brien, im sure he had reletives on the Manor. I also Remember David O'brien known as DOB who lived round upperthorpe. I think one of the O'brien family have a skip firm as ive seen the wagons around.

I worked with Walt and his Sister Emma at Donnellys Cutlery Firm on Portobella for around three years in the sixties, I also knew Georgie and a cousin of his call Joe Coward. I think Walts widow still lives down Gleadless Road just past Cat Lane on the opposite side.

I remember a Mick ( squeaky) RIP and brother Pete O,Brien pigeon fancier both avid Blademen in the 60s & 70s but i dont know if they came off the Manor or not i do know they both used to go in the Olive Grove pub in the late 60s when it had live entertainment on and Discos always good entertainment watching them fight each other "brotherly love" i seem to think that Pete lived somewhere near the top of Myrtle rd but not sure if they are related to anyone from the Manor any feedback would be nice.

I used to work with Walt O`Brian in the early sixties, I also seem to remember Mick working with us for a short while. I also remember Kath I fancied her when she was around seventeen years old. I went to school (St Theresas) with a cousin of theirs a lad now a man called Joe Coward. Walts Widow was living down Gleadless Rd I have a feeling that she is still alive as the house windows have had the same clean,neat type of net curtains up for years.
