Can I ask whereabouts Britannia Road is please, and does anyone know any history on the library please. Thanks

Do you know if you can pull off reports specific to one surname?

Have you tried the free family history programme that's available as a download from the Mormon site, Latter Day Saints? I use it and it produces some excellent reports

Thank you everyone for your replies regarding Jeffcocks in Sheffield. I have a lot about the Jeffcock who ran the fishing coaches. I also have a lot of info on his family going back in time. I would love to know more though about the Harold Jeffcock who managed the Attercliffe Palais de Danse above Websters Furniture. Thanks

I'd be interested to know if anyone remembers the Attercliffe Palais de Danse, the old Roller Skating rink on Attercliffe. I'd be interested to know your memories on the place please. A rellie of mine Harold Jeffcock, was the manager there for a time I am told, don't know if anyone remembers him. If I am right the skating rink was above Websters Furniture? Thanks

Hi there Plain Talker ... have pm'd you

Hi there Thanks for the information ...

There is a lot of history with the Jeffcock name and the Park Hill/Duke Street area of Sheffield going back as far as I can trace to the 1841 census of Sheffield. I wonder if this lad from the Park Hill area was anything to do with these. They were publicans.

My brain hurts now and I think I have just about exhausted every avenue on researching the name Jeffcock in Sheffield. I know William Jeffcock was the first Mayor of Sheffield but I would love to know more about the family who originated from the Handsworth area of Sheffield. Can anyone help me out here? Do you know anyone by the name of Jeffcock or are you related in any way to the surname? Do you know anything about the history of the family? All help or information would be greatly appreciated.

I am really enjoying reading all the posts about Attercliffe as I am researching family history and its giving me a picture of what life was like. My partners family (Stoakes) were from Staniforth Road, married into the Beasley family also from Attercliffe. I also have Gleadall and Jeffcock connections in Attercliffe. My 2 x gt grandmother was a Jeffcock who married into the Webster family of Ardmore Street (where is that). I also have connections to the Jenkinsons who ran a pub in Attercliffe back in the 1800's so I have a long association with the area.

I am tracing my family history and I have found that my 3 x great grandfather lived behind the Queens Head at the time of the 1861 census in something called Garnetts Yard? Do you know if your grandparents know any history of the pub or the surrounding area. My family were called Jeffcock Walker. Thanks

Crikes you lot are bringing back some memories! I was Flower Pot and my ex was Big Ben. Actually met him on over the airwaves when he offered to come a sort out my aerial. Our daughter was Little Weed.

Crikes those were the days ... Friday morning you always made sure you didn't overlay so you could get the "good stuff" cos let's face it there was some rubbish on there! I loved it too because as a typical woman it was fantastic to get a pair of shoes and a handbag to match as there was also a stall that did cheap bags too ... can anyone remember it?

I am researching my family history and am a bit stuck on the Gleadall connections I have made. I would love to hear from anyone connected to the name who lives in Sheffield or past family have. This family seem to have lived around the Daisy Bank, Woollen Lane area of Sheffield. The information I have is from 1841 onwards so am going well back in time. Please PM me if you can help TY

Not got a venue as such yet but have two in mind. One has the lights but no DJ equipment the other has nothing but a stage. You mention Kirky's figure is way under cutting, what is the going rate then for a DJ on a Saturday night? Ta

Looking for this DJ for a Saturday night ... would it still be about £80? ta

Am 40 in November (aaahhh) and am looking for a DJ for the old birthday bash! Ideally I want someone who plays a good cross section of music but that is also cheap. Anyone got any suggestions please?

Crikes I always miss stuff!

I live in Burngreave jsut down from the Wine Shop and haven't seen anything. Mind you last night there was 5 ... yes ... 5 police cars outside the Police Station just off Spital Hill. Normally you don't see any there for days on end!

I have just searched for the name Charles Peace on here and come up with some interesting information .... wish I'd done that first as then I would have know that my gran could not have been pushed round on a barrow by him ... she wasn't even born when he died! However, she was adament about the story so I am now wondering if it could be one of her rellies that got pushed round on his barrow??? Would still love any information on the Phillipson family though if anyone knows anything! Thanks

I have been reading with interest the thread on the Sheffield Gang Wars. My grandmother lived on Princess Street in the 1920's with a family by the name of Phillipson, George and Eliza Ann. Although this couple were not her natural parents she was brought up by them after the death of her father Tom Hinchliffe. She used to talk about the Gang Wars and in particular about Charles Peace and him pushing her round on his barrow? I am trying to put some creadance to this story and so wondered if anyone could tell me more about Charles Peace or if they knew of a family named Phillipson who lived on Princess Street. Thanks in advance for any help given.

I am still recruiting for Ann Summers Get in touch with me or PM me your contact details and I will get back to you.

Have you tried that new pub that has just opened - Meadow Farm on Nether Lane at Ecclesfield. I have been loads of times and each time I cannot fault it. In the way of a play area for kids there's a whole space designated to kids and you can also watch them from the comfort of your seat through the CCTV system they have in place. Check it out, I don't think you'll go far wrong!

I work for Ann Summers as a Party Organiser and although, traditionally, the majority of of the people ordering at our parties are female its amazing how many have had their outfits picked out for them by their husbands/partners. Quite often women will "text or picture message" their other halves to ask, what do you think of this or what shall I get to go with that. Why do men find it so easy to shop for lingerie for their wives/partners through this method but feel embarrassed walking into a shop. I think they forget that just because they can't see me I know exactly what it is they're buying ... lol ...

If you're between 18 and 80 and female then I am recruiting Party Organisers for Ann Summers .... Talk about excellent benefits!
