Does anyone know where a convicted female from Sheffield would be sent to in the late 1920s early 30s? Her crime was I believe shoplifting and I know she spent time in a women's prison, family folklore says Manchester but I'm not sure. Can't find any info on ancestry website so hopefully someone will point me in the right direction for information. Thanks

Anyone know where i can get a hand reared cockatiel, near sheffield

Hiya AC, Just phoned my mum re :Laura Burgoyne, she remembers her very well and her sister Shirley, my mum said they were both really nice, Shirley joined the Salvation Army just for the uniform , she sound a character, Laura was a very good swimmer, my mums auntie Doris was a Burgoyne and married my mums uncle and became a Cade, so there's a slight family connection also. Unfortunately that's where the trail goes cold, my mum doesn't know what happened after they all grew older and went their separate ways. You never know someone may see this and know a bit more, Laura sounded like a beautiful young girl I hope she's well and happy somewhere. Best wishes Steve

I didn't know her personally, it was my mum who knew her, my mum was also born in Cottam street in 1935, so knew them all well I think, I'll ask her at the weekend if she knows anymore about Laura Burgoyne , my mum was Shirley Barnes before she married my dad and became Badger.

My mum remembers the Gabbitas family, Mrs gabbitas Was Tall and slim with black hair she remembers. Back in the 4os Think daughter was Laura gabbitas Shirley and Laura Burgoyne knocked about with gabbitas and lived in anlaby st
