Amos Stuart - Sheffield Gang Wars

[ccmaefr 10]

hi,

Thank you for all the replies! its so interesting finding out about him.

The amos stuart that married Hannah Sedwick was his dad. In the census before Amos(jnr) was born, Hannah Sedwick was living with Amos(snr) and i presume they got married in the 20's. Amos(jnr) was in prison from 1925 to 1935.

Does anyone know of Gladys Lishman? If they had children?

Did he stay in the sheffield area?

Thank you so much for all your information!

Hi,

We have just started doing some family history stuff and was wondering if anyone has any information on Amos Stuart who was involved in the Princess Street Murder? Theres quite a lot of information about him up to going in to prison but wondered what happened to him once he was released? did he marry? have a family of his own?

Thank you

Amos snr was my mother's uncle and he had a fruit shop on the corner of St Charles Street in Attercliffe. The photograph of Amos jnr in the Sheffield Gang Wars book is the double of my mother's brother Alf Pearson aka Bill to his family.

These people are my great Aunts and Uncles although I really only remember Rose and Lena. I seem to remember my mum telling me my grandmother was a Stuart before marrying my grandad Joseph Malone. I vaguely remember my mother telling me about the gang wars and I will ask her the next time I see her. Her name is Patricia Malone.

yeah I think these are my great great cousins? or uncles? I have a million pieces of scrap paper with it all written on so going to have to sit down and try and put some kind of order in to it!

So the Alf that owned the coal merchants was his brother?

Does anyone know of any stories? Im interested in find out where he lived (street) and whetehr he had children but also stories about the family, Incidents like what happened in the pub. I'd like to know my past not jus the facts.

Thank you everyone

Hi ccmaefr

 

Just been talking to my mum Patricia Malone, apparently Hannah Sedwick was her grandmother and Elizabeth Sedwick was her mum. Amos steward was her uncle and at one point when Elizabeth died quite young my mother's sister Ivy Malone was taken in by Amos and Lishman and lived with them for a long while. My mother is a wealth of information and if you wish I can give you her phone number and she along with Ivy can give you loads of info, it seems that the Stewarts are a very extended family and she has names that haven't been mentioned in previous posts.
