smary   14 #2 Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) I have been searching and found a John Arnold Roberts born 1877 died 1965. His brother Charles 1871 was the other partner. The mother was called Mary Ellen and they lived 35 Kenwood Park Road, Sheffield. There appears to be several children. Amelia, Maud, Florence, Edith, Elsie and Percival - maybe others - I took this from the 1901 census. Charles died 11 July 1939 and it states joint managing director Edited October 15, 2013 by smary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Can anyone tell me the names of those who owned the store, also any history about it. Many thanks indeed:)  Hi, I used to live on Kent Roed, Heeley. Sheffield and my friend Nevel Roberts, he lived at +-79 Kent Road, if that is any good to you. I'm ancient and he could be dead by now, and that row of 2 up and 2 down has been knocked down, and replaced by a grass patch. Time marches on I'm afraid.

Peter Tottle   10 #11 Posted January 20, 2018 Yes, I walked that bridge every day to Carfield School and back. Now I read that the river has been piped, and the road goes straight across now. No "Gassi" any more or bridge. Thank heaven we few can still live in the passed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
