Looking for any information on the Limage family . William and Bertha ( parents) Roy , Irene , Gordon and Lesley . Possibly lived in Handsworth ( circa 1950's ) . Gord was a bricklayer , Les drove for a washmachine company ( three wheeler) . Any info will be welcome .

[hillsbro]

Hi clocker - the marriages index shows a William Limage who married Bertha Walsham in Sheffield in Jan-Mar 1920, with children Irene A. (born Jul-Sep 1920), Roy E. (Jul-Sep 1923), Gordon W. (Oct-Dec 1929) and Leslie (Apr-Jun 1935). Irene evidently married James A. Tomlinson in 1942, a likely child being Roy W.A. Tomlinson, born Apr-Jun 1944. Roy seems to have married Jean Fowler in 1948, and Gordon married Brenda Curtis in Jan-Mar 1954, a likely daughter being Shirley, born Oct-Dec 1954.

The 1911 census shows a 14 year-old William Limage living with his parents and four younger sisters in Creswick Street, and Bertha Walsham as an 11 year-old schoolgirl living nearby with her parents in Exley Avenue. As Gordon was a bricklayer, it seems he followed a long-standing family tradition, as both his grandfathers were bricklayers.

Hope this helps!.

Hello again Roy - PM me an email address if you'd like JPEG scans of the 1911 census pages with the signatures of your great-grandads George Limage (1869-1949) and Ernest Robert Walsham (1874-1923). Limage seems to be an East Anglia surname - George was born at Ramsey, a village north of Huntingdon; his father was a policeman. George seems to have moved to Sheffield in the 1890s; his wife Isabella was Scottish..

Thanks for this one Duffems . Irene was my mother , she passed away last month at the age of 92 . There is on discrepency though and that is with her date of birth , it should be August , not September . I will have to delve deeper on this .

Many thanks for this , appreciated

born 3 Jun 1912 baptised 3 Jul 1912
Grace dau of George and Isabella LIMAGE 5ct./2ho Creswick St. (Bricklayer)

Burials in Walkley Cemetery (Parish of St Mary’s, Walkley)

LIMAGE Isabella Baird 9 Jun 1926 Creswick St. 57 F. Reeve (no grave reference)
[name/date of burial/address or place where death occurred/age/minister]

I have assumed that Isabella Baird LIMAGE is buried in this grave although the reference was not entered.

One other burial:

Grave Gp – (no grave number listed)
LIMAGE Annie 7 Apr 1904 Ct. 5 Creswick St. 8 m. (no minister listed)
[Gp means a public grave in section G]

I think George re-married. If the transcription is accurate he was creative with his age!:

Marriage at St Mary’s, Walkley

George LIMAGE 54 Widr Bricklayer 5c/2h Creswick St.
father: James LIMAGE (Deceased)
Amy Susan BECK 48 Spin 5c/2h Creswick St.
father: James BECK Deceased

witnesses: Charles Ernest WALLER, Norah WALLER


There are also burials and a marriage at Walkley for the family of a Fred LIMAGE who I think may be a brother of George.

Thanks for this Hugh , appreciated . I think it might be tied into my search rather than a separate search . I truly did not expect it to have so many involved but I am extremely grateful to all those who are .

Thanks again ,
Roy

Trying to help Clocker find a marriage of Isabella Baird to George Limage. The 1911 census has them married for 15 years but I haven't been able to find them - hopefully you will come up with something.

[hillsbro]

I also couldn't find this marriage. As Isabella was born in Edinburgh, perhaps the wedding took place in Scotland and so will not be in the England & Wales index. Assuming that Isabella's maiden name was Baird (which she kept as a middle name after marriage) the 1891 census for Scotland shows an Isabella Baird of the right age in Edinburgh (a dressmaker living with her widowed mother and three siblings).

[smary]

yes hillsboro I am having a similar problem - perhaps they never married! Clocker did say there was some link with Scotland. I did find an Isabella in Southampton but born Scotland and wonder if that was her. Its such a common name it will be hard to find the right one

There was many times where there was mention , by my mother , of a link to Scotland . Unfortunately she passed away just a month ago so I cannot do any follow up on this . I have one uncle still alive ( Les Limage ) but I'm not sure he can help with of this . I will ask however .

Dead end on the Scottish link . The only one ( my mother ) who seemd to remember anything in this regard passed away last month .

[smary]

Hi Hillsobro - just to let you know Rootschat Canada have found the marriage of George Limage to Isabella. I found George and brother Fred on the passenger lists coming from Canada in 1895 so thought it maybe worth a look in Canada for the marriage and eureka!

[hillsbro]

Well done!
