My mum's family lived in an old cottage on Stour Lane The Ibbotson family). The cottage was demolished many years ago to make way for new housing. One of my uncles (Vic Ibbotson) was the village cobbler for years, what a character. I attended Wisewood School and lived on Hallowmoor Road. Happy days. I I recognise the name Trickett and feel we have mutual acquaintances. ---------- Post added 09-11-2018 at 21:48 ---------- Hello - my maiden name was Hutton and yes Maureen is right. Jean Ibbotson is my cousin. I remember the teachers you mention, also pupils Douggie Franks, David Batty, Brian Walmsley all loveable rogues as I remember, good times. Been chased around the playground many times (wish I could run like that now), ---------- Post added 09-11-2018 at 21:57 ---------- :rolleyes:Hi thanks for getting back to me. Yes I am Maureen (Hutton). I lived on Hallowmoor Road. I remember the teachers you mention also kids from school. Brian Walmsley, David Batty, Douggie Franks, Keith Valentine (lovable rogues). Been chased around the playground many times, wish I could run like that now. Girls Eileen Battle, Pamela Peach, Dorothy Lawrence and many others. Jean Ibbotson is my cousin.

I think it is possible that we were in the same class at junior school. I remember most of the names you mention and think that Jean Ibbotson was my cousin on my mother's side, If you are the same Terry Dooley I remember I will never forget my triumph when you slogged the ball and I "caught you out" playing rounders in the school yard. A teacher by the name of Maxi was supervising and he was totally unimpressed. keep in touch Md

Yes I remember this saying and others that my mum used, one of which was well "Well -I go to the bottom of our stairs" and my grandmother used to say "Who'd like to wash and change me for threppence". There were many others, but the old memory isn't what it was. If I recall I will come back. Md

I noticed the name of Terry Dooley whilst browsing through the Wadsley Village notices recently and wonder if it is the same guy who attended Wisewood Seco dary Modern at the same time I did. It was probably early fifties. As I remember his name when a first knew him was Flanagan, but I recall we were told that his name was to change to Dooley. I would like anyone who remembers this time to get in touch. I was Maureen Hutton and lived on Hallowmoor Road on the Wisewood estate. My mothers family lived on Stour Lane Wadsley Village, their name was Ibbotson. My uncle Vic. was the village cobbler - quite a character. I remember supposedly helping out at his workshop on occasions, I watching and listening to his anecdotes with the various people who visited for a chat as much as anything. I have sent messages previously, but so far no response. Hope I will have more luck this time. Md

I was recently browsing Sheffield Forum and was very interested in the mention of a cobbler who had a small workshop in the village. His name was Ibbotson (not Harrison) and he was my uncle on my mother's side. I myself attended Wisewood Secondary School and I would be very interested to have a chat with anyone who may have any connection with the Ibbotson family. They had a cottage on Stour Lane which was demolished years ago. My maiden name was Hutton (Maureen). ---------- Post added 13-08-2018 at 22:39 ---------- When did your brother attend Wisewood Secondary - I was there i n the 50's ---------- Post added 15-08-2018 at 20:10 ---------- I can't trace my original reply to your post as I am new to this, but here goes. My mother's family lived on Stour Lane in the old Wadsley village. The family name was Ibbotson and my uncle Vic had the cobblers workshop. I often used to spend time there in the pretence that I was helping, but it was fascinating to watch and listen to the tall tales he used to tell with visiting customers, it was more like a Social club - he was such a character. Elsie Ibbotson was my mother. I am the youngest of two sisters (Maureen Hutton) my father was Alexander, he worked for Sheffield Transport Department tram driving during the second World War and thereafter. If there is anyone out there with a connection I would love to hear from you should this attempt be successful.
