Hi I'm trying to find some information on the above mentioned House. I have found from census returns that my ancestors, Jonas Cotton & family, lived here from 1901,1911 & then listed as his address at time of death in 1919. On the 1891 census he's a assistant pork butcher. living at Nunnery Farm. But in 1901 he is living at Woodbourn House listed as a Stone Quarry Garter (Employer). strangly on 1911 census he's just a colliery labourer, his son listed as a colliery deputy. I guess they would have been working at the Nunnery Colliery? Not sure how much longer after Jonas' death the family remained at the house but would love to know any information about the house, where abouts on woodbourn road it would have stood, as I doubt very much it still stands given the redevelopment of the area. Kind regards Martin

Hi Momoran & others, can anyone possible tell me who lived at 115 Hastilar Road in 1946. This is the address given as place of deathon my gr-grandmother death certificate 15th february 1946. She actually lived at 55 Manor Oaks Close. Cheers Martin

To me the letters on the building do look like C & B, which are the initials of the man mentioned on the back! have searched the 1911 White's directory for Sheffield and no charles Buxton barman/lics-vict. so dont believe it's Sheffield. does anyone have access to the 1908 Kelly's directory for Leeds/Bradford area?? given the Tetley carving above the door mentioned earlier? Have also checked 1911 census briefly (not purchased any) and dont look too promising finding him easy, only 1 with wife Margaret as mentioned on pg1 1891 census, but thats in Leek Staffordshire.

The Loos are still there, shuttered up but the block that the newsagent was in has been flattened. I grew up on Intake in the 80/90's and loved it. Think i've seen something with the History of Intake school on somewhere will see if i can find it and add a link. Have just noticed it the same site as the link at the top of this page. Sheffield Indexers.

Know from the research i've done into my family tree that there are many FOERS buried in Moorgate cemetery, also believe that Foers still have 2 businesses in Treeton one a Construction company (think they know got a large depot near the new Morrisons (Catcliffe) the other i think is a funeral Directors. also believe from a contact i had on Genes-reunited that some of this said family emigrated to Canada?? will double check that though.

I have well over 100 Cotton's in my family tree, however i have found no apparent link to Leonard, have done a bit of Digging and found that Leonard Snr was born c1888 in Nottingham, his father was Herbert Cotton b c1851 Sheffield. This may help anyone else out there with Cotton links to tie them in with people in there tree. Martin

I remember about 15yrs ago going with a friend of mine(he was a Staniland) to visit his grandparents, couldn't remember their names or the street name if i tried, think it was more fox-hill end of Parsons cross. Will try to contact him see what info i can get.

That would fit quite nicely with the Fleetwoods as they were nearly all from Grenoside, will update you when i find more details. Have just found them on 1891 census they have 5 Children but also living with them are 2 nephews Arthur & Orlander Housley aged 19 & 17 respectively if this helps, although they are mistranscribed as Haisley. Orlanda is living with them in 1901 census too. Thanks Martin

Hi Retep Do you have a Nancy Housley b c1855 that marries a Joseph Fleetwood, they have at least one son John b c1880???? Martin

Hi Pete i know Garth and the late Wendy, we had a pub in Brinsworth which they once ran, Wendy was one of the nicest women you could meet and Garth was such a character, you could not go home he would keep you entertained all day.

Anyone recall my rellies?? Elsie & Harry Glazebrook - Roebuck Tavern 1950/60's Hannah & George Lee - Shakespeare (heeley) 1940/50's Fred Lee - Dog & Partridge 1950's also Wellington Arms (Darnall) Also remember old friends of ours ran the Brown Bear & Stonehouse, Garth & Wendy

I'm linked to Wragg's from the Grenoside area one married a Fleetwood and their son was my mothers foster father,he was also her uncle. if that makes sense?? have not been able to find any links with any modern day Wraggs yet but have only just started looking down that side of the family.

I have links with Wragg's from Sheffield so was interested in this, However have searched all birth's of Mooney's for 1955/56/57 and cannot find any terence's born Sheffield or any with mothers maiden name Wragg.

I've heard that a lot of the "gangs" of the 50's-60's worked out of the Roebuck tavern with the Landlady being very influencial in the plotting??? She was a very wealthy woman growing up very poor, i'm sure all her wealth wasn't made from the pub???

I lived on Crossways 1980-87 was only a nipper though so can't remember many names, the Leggitts seems to ring a bell, think the lady next door was called tweeny Young.

Ronald William Starling died Dec 1991, his date of birth 11th Oct 1909,(we shared the same birthday) born in Gateshead.

My mother went with her Aunt on Tue's 2nd Nov 93, (i've just checked her souvenir tickets for dates). I will get her to pass on her experience of the night for you. Martin

Have cleared some space now Fairywings, sorry i didn't realise it was full thanks Martin

Sorry Fairywings, Dad couldn't make it down to visit this week, will let him know when i speak to him that you remember him, if you want to PM me your name i'll see if he remembers you. Martin

Yes he's well, hopefully he's coming down to visit me next week, if he does i'll put him on let him have a chat with you. Is Parkhouse still standing?? last thing i knew when i lived in Rotherham a few years ago is that it was up for sale, possibly for developement of houses on the site????

They weren't aussie but had just returned from living out there for a few years, there youngest brother was born out there., he joined Navy in June 71 after leaving Parkhouse,I know his nickname was skippy because he'd been in Australia, but not sure if this was in Navy or at School, he stayed in Navy for 18 years he now lives at Hackenthorpe, near his best friend who he first met at ParkHouse Reg Hague,Phillip would have left the year before.

My dad and his older brother went, not sure when they left though was possibly around 71?? they are Phillip & Kevin Ryan Martin

The sad thing is now kids get caned everyday at school, but not the wooden stick kind. If punishments like this were still allowed then there might be a bit more discipline installed into the youth of today, and maybe gun/knife crime would not be as high as it is. Because seriously did being caned turn us all into the monsters that we have on our streets today???? i think not
