Hi . I have a Great Aunt (87) who recalls her father George Rupert Shields being involved in a Parade /Rally or March around 1926/27 near Wicker Arches Sheffield (they lived in Danville St) She was around 5/6 yrs old and standing with her mother . Her father lifted her onto a truck or trailer as it passed by . Shortly after this event my G.Aunt and her siblings where put in Fulwood Childrens home until end of their childhood . She has always felt this was connected in some way and believed her father was in prison for some reason ? Anyone have any thoughts what this event may have been . Dave .

Hi Does anyone have any information on Bluecoat Charity School..East Parade .,I have a family member who I believe attended around 1895/1900... Dave

Hi All Wonder if anyone has ever come across 'The Barclay sisters '.They were dancers who originate from Halifax. There names were Joy ..and Elizabeth (stage name Vicky Lester) Boothman .Any help appreciated . Dave

Hi Having been reading these posts on Danville St .Wondering if any of you folk remember any of these names from Danville St, I think that they were at 96. Names are George Rupert Shields...and his partner Martha Robinson.they were never married but did have several children Frank..Hilda. Annie.Edna.Joan and they were called Robinson not Shields . I also believe that a Louis Robinson (Martha son from her husband) lived in Danville St for a while he had 3 children Kenneth, Steven and Verina ... Martha may also have had some of here other children from her marriage living at 96 ..Blanche .Ada.Theodore. Blanche Robinson is my Grandmother and my interst is through my family tree research Dave
