Thanks for your reply Can I PM you about the family please ? Vicki

A cousin would like to get in touch with either of the daughters of Harold Richard HOWARD b 1925 and Mary Margaret TAYLOR. Harold had 2 brothers Percy and Joseph William (Joe) and lived in Martin Lane and Wentworth St in 1950’s. Sorry I don’t know their married names but Jacqueline born 1955 and Josephine 1958. Any help appreciated

Sorry it’s a long post but help needed please !! Please check out this link to a Picture Sheffield image for a “Group of Workers outside an unnamed File Cutting Shop in Grammar Street, possibly rear of No 192 “ http://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?action=zoomWindow&keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s09194&prevUrl= Would love to identify the taller gentleman centre-back. As we look at this picture the chap to his left is Thomas OATES (1880-1956) and they both appear in another photo ..... This is a group photograph taken to celebrate the Golden Wedding in 1913 of Thomas OATES (1841-1923) and his wife Ann GREAVES (1846-1925) http://s362.photobucket.com/user/VTheaker/media/Oates_Family_Portrait.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0 Thomas is one of 11 children, son of Daniel OATES (1819-1872) and Hannah PARKIN (1820-1900) Ann is seated in the centre, wearing glasses and flower, Thomas seated right. Directly behind Ann, is Rose Hannah OATES nee SWIFT (1835-1935). Her husband Herbert Parkin OATES (1857-1947), younger brother to Thomas, is kneeling on the right of the photo. Herbert and Rose lived at 205 Greaves St and 25 Willis Road. Also Jessey Madeline OATES born 1867 married Kirk WOODMANSEY in 1891 and their daughter Annie married Reginald MOORE in 1910, their child Ruby MOORE born 1911 is mentioned as the latest edition to the family. I have all the Census information, but need to put some faces to the names. I have numbered each person on the larger group photo but would be very grateful if readers can help me to identify ANYONE on either photo please? Many thanks Vicki

Thanks hillsbro and arrodbo for that great info. Vicki

Thanks Richard, every bit helps ! Vicki

Hi everyone From an old thread " There was also Oates' radio/TV shop on the corner of Willis Road - the two brothers really knew their stuff and could be relied upon for advice on repairs, what to buy etc " Does anyone remember the forenames of the brothers please and roughly what years they traded to - 1970s? Thanks VickiTdoin

Hi Elizabeth (Teamla) I sent you a pm on 28th May Can you check it out when you have a minute please? Thanks VickiT

Hi Joto That would be great Can you PM me your email details please Thanks Vicki

Hi Sandie I think the confusion is there are 2 Horace Theakers, both with sons called Horace This looks like your line Horace Theaker married Doris Howard in 1921 Children Jennie born 1922 and Horace born 1930 Does this sound right to you? Please send me a PM if you wish to discuss further Vicki

Hi Denlin Thanks for that info I've updated my files - I know we're not connected but I like to follow other lines as well. Bye for now VickiT

Thanks Duffems I am an active member of Sheffield Indexers and am currently involved in transcribing the Burngreave Cem Burials The Thomas Burton Theaker you found is my husband's ggrandfather. Cheers VickiT

Hi Duffems Thanks for the welcome, I can now PM !! Haven't come across a Diane Theaker in my research. I used to work at Boots on the Moor myself as a Saturday girl about 40 years ago . I suddenly feel ancient. VickiT

Hi Joto I have done a bit of research some unrelated Sheffield Theakers, Is your line connected this way ? Leonard b 1913 son of Ada Steele and Joseph Henry b 1880 son of Ruth & Henry b 1844 son of Benjamin b 1812 in Retford ? Vicki T

Good idea - thanks

Hi eggbutnobacon My husbands grandad was Charles Theaker 1901-1951 , son of Thomas Burton Theaker. As a newbie I can't send a pm till I've made 5 posts Would love to exchange info with you VickiT
