  1. St Mary's Walkley had 8 boys in my year (I think 24 pupils in total), 4 of whom took 11+, 2 of whom passed - including me. I went to King Edward VII - bit of a shock as 120 in my year and all boys and all bright!
  2. There was also the Weldon family who lived on that road - and Florence Weldon married Harry Lacey from just along the road!
  3. No problem from my end, happy to help. Now I re-read it, I am puzzled why your title for this thread says: "Looking for Sarah Vickers" but your first message refers to "Ursula Reder". As that is a less common name, it was fairly easy to find information about her but were we looking for the right person?
  4. Looks like she married a Graham M Brown in Woolwich in 1968. Surname First name(s) District Vol Page Births Sep 1947 (>99%) Reder Ursula M Queirolo Rotherham 2c 1040 Marriages Mar 1968 (>99%) REDER URSULA M BROWN WOOLWICH 5E 2228 Hope this helps.
  5. In the remote hope that we might be distantly related, I have a few Savages in my tree that precede yours. John Savage married Hannah Conor; child William Savage (born abt 1763) married Hannah Bee and had child Sarah Savage born abt 1791 who married Joseph Mettam - lived for a time in Bailey Lane, Sheffield.
  6. I noted that responses to your question focus on web sites where you can build your tree and also access records and other people's trees. Generally, these charge you a subscription. If, however, your intent was to focus on building and printing your tree (using your own knowledge or free / paid for searches elsewhere), then I have found Legacy pretty good. It is free and you build your tree on your own PC (it only works on PCs although there may be compatible packages for other devices) and you can search and print from your tree. There is a modestly priced deluxe add-on that is a one-off fee and that gives a few extra bells and whistles which aren't essential but you might decide you want. Your legacy tree is on your PC and so is not visible or accessible by others - this may be a good thing or a bad thing depending on what you want - but you can export branches of your tree and email them to others if you wish or use them to update an online tree on a subscription site. There are other similar packages but I have stuck with Legacy for many years now after searching for something suitable. Hope this helps - oh, and I have no allegiance to Legacy or any other genealogy package.
  7. Arundel and Chatsworth became Bolsover; Clumber and Haddon became Chantry; Lynwood and Sherwood became Montgomery; Welbeck and Wentworth became Sorby.
  8. My mom attended Marcliffe. I am not sure on exact dates but she was born in 1931. Sounds like she might have been a little older than you. Does this help?
  9. Yes - with rowing boats for hire and a motorboat where you could pay for a circuit or more of the lake. https://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s28892&pos=2&action=zoom&id=90545
  10. You could see if there are any local-based Facebook groups, join them and post a request. Genealogy / family history searches might also turn something up. Try FreeBMD, put in your dad's name (or your nan's) and the area / approximate dates and see what comes up. You can look for births or marriages or deaths etc. You can even search for births of children to parents and it is free.
  11. Hi, I had a quick look for you and couldn't spot a Daryl Oldfield born Sheffield - the nearest are Darren Oldfield: Surname First name(s) District Vol Page Births Mar 1961 (>99%) OLDFIELD Darren G KNIGHT Sheffield 2d 260 Births Jun 1967 (>99%) Oldfield Darren Whittaker Sheffield 2d 150 Births Dec 1967 (>99%) Oldfield Darren Nash Sheffield 2d 135 The name in the middle is surname of mother. I couldn't spot a likely marriage for his parents with the names you suggest but it is worth exploring - maybe expand to nearby towns in case he wasn't born in Sheffield (note that parts of Sheffield had different names in the past e.g. Ecclesall Bierlow and Wortley) or you could try a county.
  12. You are welcome. Let's hope one of these is "the one".
  13. A bit more on Neal's: There was a one man bakery behind a shop on walkley lane that backed on the top of carnaby road..called neal's
  14. And another - people are keen to help (says a lot about those from Walkley):-) There was Skinners (I think) on Walkley Road. They were in the end terrace with a large house next door, think it was Marriott's haulage?
  15. Another possibility (but sounds less like your description): Davies Bakery was at the end at the bottom of Howard Road ... opposite the Yorkshire Bank . It was a double shop and had a big canvas awning that they pulled out to shade the window , And another remote possibility: There was Sellars at the top of Cromwell St opposite the Yorkshire bank. Where you could buy the penny loaf
