I am trying to find information about my in-laws George and Edith Roebuck.They originally lived in Pitsmoor but moved to the Manor in the 60's.George worked at Stanley Tools,on the buses and latterley at Lodge Moor Hospital.Edith worked at Cocaines and her last job was also at Lodge Moor.Any info would be much appreciated.

In the 60s i remember my mother having friends by the name of Roebuck on Manor Park Close, I dont know what their Christian names were.
They were a childless couple and I remember them moving onto Park Hill when they were first built.
I'm not sure if these are the people you are looking for but I will try and find out their first names from my older sisters.
Regards Maureen

I have a 1954 edition of Kelly's Directory. That lists a George Roebuck as living at 4 Cooks Wood Rd.

Don't know if that will be of any use to you - you probably know already.

Thanks, but the George you are writing about wasn't him, in 1954, we lived in Pitsmoor road.

We lived on Fowler Street.

I am the neice of George and Edith. As a child I lived in Gower Street, my mother was George's sister Annie, George and Edith had three children, Mavis who lives in Woodthorpe, Georgie who lived in pitsmoor and Elaine who i believe went to Germany. I had a sister Pauline I am Pat and also have a brother named Keith.
To get in touch please email my daughter inlaw at this address or write a letter to the Sheffield Star.

Look forward to hearing from you

Hello Pat,
I am Elaine daughter of George and Edith Roebuck ,
I now live in Bingham near Nottingham, my husband Tony was in the RAF and we did live in Germany for a while.
George lives on the Carwood Estate and Mavis still on the Woodthorpe.
Mum and dad have been gone now for over 20 years, but we still visit Mavis and George in Sheffield regularly, in fact we are spending New Year with our George.
lovely to hear from you, will get in touch again and give you all our news, Elaine
