Hi.

When we lived at Gleadless Valley in the early 60's my mothers friend was called Margaret Kitson, she had a son Peter and a daughter Susan,they lived on Blackstock Road.

They could be related ,but like I said it's along time since I have seen any of the Kitson clan Margaret rings a bell.cheers

There were two Kitsons in Owlerton.

One was a garage opposite the Wednesday football ground at the bottom of Herries Rd which was owned by the Kitsons.

The other Kitson family had a corner shop with a local milk round, the shop was on the corner of Dutton Road and Harewood Road opposite Hillsborough Park before they built the Baths there.

Hope this info helps. Good look in your search

Happy Days!

Thanks for the information P

I think you'll find that was Buttery's shop....Old Mrs Kitson lived next door on Harewood Rd. She had a daughter, Dorothy, who married Jim Pryor and lived next door to us on Lofthouse Rd.

I still own a metal milk check bought from the Kitsons corner shop with the name impressed into it

Maybe this was issued some years before the Buttery's had the shop?


I believe these houses were built around 1860's but I could be wrong.

Any info would be appreciated

Happy Days!

My gran was related by marriage to Arthur Kitson of Kitsons coaches and Owlerton garage.

PopT....having spoken to my mother, you're right. Mrs Kitson had the shop before Mrs Buttery and sold it to her around 1955. My mother specifically remembers this cos while pregnant with my sister, she fainted in the shop and Mrs Buttery gave her some brandy.

I think the houses may have been slightly later than 1860 as my grandmother moved into one on Lofthouse when it was new, around 1900.

Thanks for the update, Royal Regular you have inadvertantly helped me with my family history.

They did live on Lofthouse road and could not trace them earlier than the 1900's

Happy Days!

Kitsons were on Hayward Road (little Hayward Road, off Fowler Street, Pitsmoor) up to the early 50's at least. There was Dave Kitson and 'Sailor' Kitson. The latter a well known bricklayer. Any relation?

Not sure Texas,like I said I can only remember the Kitsons from the manor in the early late 50s early 60s.

I have a second cousin (Ann) who married Jeff Kitson. They had a chip shop in Sheffield. They live down south now.

Hi baldass my family lived on the Manor & I think the road was Windyhouse Lane.

My sted dad has relations called Kitson. I can't recall the mum and dad's names but there was a jackie, debbie and a wayne. Their grandmother, annie lowe, lived at the top of Darcy Close, Manor Estate and there were links with a family called Bourne and Bonsall.

My main family are the Siddall's my Grandmother lived at 43 Fitzhubert road & my Aunty Beattie (Sanderson) Siddall lived a few doors down.

I seem to recall another Kitson that went to Waltheof. His name was Harry but he changed his name to Wayne or Shaun

Hi Tosh13,
I have Kitsons in my family history but they originally came from Doncaster but some moved to Sheffield. I'm in touch with a couple of people from Genes Reunited that have traced the Kitsons from that area back to the 1590's.
If you want any more information please Pm me.
Thanks,
Lois

Hi Lois my sister is sorting out some more Kitson name's for me & I will let you know as soon as I hear from her.

Anyone give me details on the information to 1590 on kitsons?

Hi.

When we lived at Gleadless Valley in the early 60's my mothers friend was called Margaret Kitson, she had a son Peter and a daughter Susan,they lived on Blackstock Road.

Think we are related! My dads cousins are peter and susan. Dont know if you use this forum anymore. Ive got loads of old photos of peter and susan with my dad and my auntys, dont think they keep in touch, quite sad really how families drift apart :/

My gran was related by marriage to Arthur Kitson of Kitsons coaches and Owlerton garage.
Yes I remember Arthur Kitson he was into Horses...Rode in A hunt with him once...Bagshaw park or derbyshire...Too long ago to recall..He owned some nice Horses...Went to the shows as well if I remember right
