True, but with such an unusual name we can't rule him out...my wife's grandfather was born in Sheffield in 1927 to a milkman ( big round ?) from Shipley, there is nothing in the records that place my wife's grandmother in Shipley, or the father in Sheffield at any time, but it is factual. Unless there is a known family connection to the name Wellwood, I would agree that your earlier suggestion to the OP of going down the Ancestry Dna route is the only one that might produce results. There are a number of trees on Ancestry with him in, hopefully someone related has done the test that could at least give the OP a chance of writing off Wellwood...or perhaps even showing a reasonably close match to someone currently unknown.

Is there a known family connection or history to the name Wellwood? If not it's possible that Wellwood could be the father's name...there is an Edward Wellwood marrying in Sheffield in 1941.

Manchester Tart... better than anything you'll see on Bake Off.

Not only a British issue though... from Oirechtas. ie. The latest report of the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, has shown that many towns and villages simply do not have adequate water and wastewater treatment services. The report is also highly critical of Irish Water's delivery of new treatment plants. It highlights that 19 large towns and cities did not treat wastewater to a European standard in 2019, and notes that 35 areas continued to discharge raw sewage, including Omeath in my county of Louth. It goes on to state that 48 areas were under significant threat to inland and coastal water pollution as a result of wastewater discharge. Of these 48 areas, a number of areas in County Louth were identified, including Dundalk, Blackrock, Castlebellingham, Dunleer and Tallanstown. The report also notes 13 areas where wastewater discharge must immediately be improved to protect endangered freshwater pearl mussels and again two areas in County Louth were identified, Carlingford and Omeath. The report gives a grim overview of both Irish Water and the delivery of treatment plants. It is clear that action is needed, which is why we in the Regional Group call on the Government to take action immediately. The motion calls on the Government to recognise that many towns and villages do not have water and wastewater treatment services. We need people living in communities in order to develop growth centres.

If you're thinking about the one that often had motorcycle jackets outside... wasn't it Pip's, or Pippa's?

I have a few Tennants bottles, although tbh I know little about them. Having done a bit of digging it seems the screw top didn't come into use until late Victorian times. Judging by their advertisements in the Sheffield press, 1898 was the first year they advertised as offering bottled beer. Apparently the kind of moulding marks and lines can help date it, perhaps the 28 does, but I can't say. Perhaps this site may help. https://www.britishbottleforum.co.uk/webpage/

I've had a look at the genealogy and Stuart Stagg seems to have come from quite a big family, so there's a chance of progressing that side, but Clifford Bate and Nellie are proving hard to find apart from their marriage. I would suggest you order a marriage certificate for them, that might well open a few doors.

I've known a lot of builders over the years and I've got to say they were more likely to name it after a famous racehorse than a small church in France.

If the houses were erected in the early 20th century as suggested, it's possible that they were named after St Maclou.. a famous racehorse that won four Classics in 1902..it changed hands for £10,000 just after the turn of the century.

I would agree Hillsbro... I dogged it back to the earliest census records available and I'm 99% certain they are the same family, it would need a match on Ancestry to prove it beyond doubt or access to parish records that are not online. There is though a definite Attercliffe connection, Wilfred Fowler, the Attercliffe man convicted of the murder of William Plummer during the Sheffield gang wars was hanged by Albert Pierrepoint.

I did some genealogy on it Hillsboro, they are almost certainly related but several generations before.. but the spelling had changed. " Having had a few minutes to check the genealogy, I'm reasonably certain they are related, the fact that the name is slightly different is irrelevant, names changed over the years almost accidentally...most people were illiterate and would just say their name to the curate or vicar and he would spell it as he thought fit. I have traced 'our' Pierrepont back to William Pierrepont born 1817 and a small area in Nottinghamshire, on checking Albert Pierrepoint descendant's trees...they are throwing up the same area, but dont have William in the tree...I think it is almost proven that they were related, but that the actual shared Grandparent is back in the 18th century, possibly not within a 100 years of either Albert or William's birth."

I've got to say that's not my experience at all, I've been drinking 50 years and I've never seen a pub up north selling its main draught beer straight from the cask or main service in bottles. The extra cost was for the superior fixtures and fittings in the 'best' side and sometimes waiter service. I have though seen both down south although not necessarily in relation to tap room and lounge side.
