I am in town most days for work and have seen the new bus about half a dozen times now and not once have I see anyone on it at all. Says it all really!

So sorry to hear this news.

Saw it the other day on West Street with 1 person on it. Lockdown and Winter never a good combination for starting a new bus service!🤔 -

Luckily they weren't cut down as Stag protested. Yes it was those listed on the plaque that apparently was destroyed or lost. -
There is an Arthur Freeman who married a Sarah Coates in 1901 and they had a daughter Elsie in 1915.
-
DAVEOXO You could look if Directories Online cover that area. Are you sure the Elsie you identified was your Elise as she would only be 15 by 1939? Actually that Elsie was born 1915.

John appears as Oxley in 1901 census so I'm guessing the John Oxley is probably the father but can't be sure. Fredrick Butcher 38 Harriet Butcher 37 Annie Butcher 16 Sarah Butcher 12 Harriett Dunn 56 John Oxley 27 Rose Harriet Oxley 26 John Oxley Rose H Freeman is down as Rose H Freedom in 1881. She was only 8 and classed as a boarder? Also a boarder in 1991 census.1881 England Census for Rose H. Freedom 1

Right, had another look at it this am and Elsie seems to have been born to a John and Florence Freeman nee Hobson. John was born 1899. The families seem to be related because their other daughter Florence married a Herbert Rodgers in 1949. It shows this also in the 1939 register. This John Freeman lived with some Oxleys in 1911 census. Rose Harriet Freeman, John's Mum seems to have had him and his brother Charles out of wedlock then marries John Oxley in 1904.

Are we actually looking at the right Doris? as there was one with mother's maiden name Proctor born in 1922 with a sister called Irene?
-
I have a theory, not that I've tested it out robustly yet. If you look down the 1939 register page down to the bottom there is a Charles A Hurt, thought at first it said Hunt but I traced a Charles A Hurt back to being born in 1885. He had a sister of the right age called Martha Hurt. They were in St Silas's parish in 1911. Could Mabel be a pet name for Martha? Also why was the surmame crossed out and Hurt installed before she married Herbert almost 10 years later!Can't find a link between two Hurt families but could have been a distant cousin. Smith may have been put in for kids names as Mabel/Martha and Albert weren't actually married?

Totally agree, it's not healthy to be round the same people all the time. Definitely the case that absence makes the heart grow fonder.

How many relationships do you think will be brought down by this isolation ?

Lovely tribute 🙂

Should The Public Take Back Control Of Buses In Our Region?
Rivelin6 replied to Bilge's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Thought the idea of community was that you pay for services that are for the good of community not just personally used by you? I rarely use Libraries these day as I can afford to buy books and have internet at home but don't begrudge paying towards Libraries for those they are a lifeline for. My partner and I are on over 40 grand a year but still use buses as we don't drive. -

My Mum when a Home Help many moons ago looked after Aaron Patrick in his old age. She always used to come home with stories of Irvine's political life. -
Went to see that yesterday, it was very good. 😍

Sure an abandoned one in the jennel off Walkley Lane yesterday too.

Israel actually married a Kate Townsend and there is a Michael Grayson born to them in 1941 Sheffield.

Look on Picture Sheffield for some inspiration.

Road resurfacing, Amey & Streets Ahead
Rivelin6 replied to ivan edake's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
It's so frustrating, we have been inconvenienced twice now and they will probably back again in a couple of years I have also been told that the 95 will be turning round at the Pondarosa from 13th- 17th September:mad: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10214718030122128&set=gm.1868644036522942&type=3&ifg=1 -
Road resurfacing, Amey & Streets Ahead
Rivelin6 replied to ivan edake's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Yes, we had to be inconvenienced last time so why should we again because Amey does shoddy work and the Council signed it off. What did people do without cars, oh yes they walked or used public transport!
