It's all fleetwood's fault - he emailed me and brought me back to this thread. I'd been wandering all over the Far North - Wadsley Bridge, Bradfield, Ecclesfield..... I'm always happy to help with information from my "archives"..

Hi Sheila, I've sorted my old house number out i think,

the hairdresser's shop was 44,Hunsley st, looks like all one number

for front and back of shop.

A Trevor Danial lived there then i might have been next at that

address. Brian.

Yes Bri I was born at 42 not hospital,it was granddads house,Louis Derrick who was brother of Arthur Derrick of 8 Moss St and Brother of William Derrick of Botham St cant recall the number but he lived in middle bit left hand side going down.Same yard as where the Marsh's lived.Our Sue started on a family tree and they originated from Nottingham.Sure there was another brother lived on Skinnerthorpe Rd.

Guilty as charged, but what a wonderful thing you do hillsbro. I found two of my own enquiries answered by simple deduction and saw a few names from the past.

I used to have my hair cut there as Eileen worked there for awhile and also when they moved to Spital Hill.She's cut it ever since until this year, she can't do anything to what's left but dust it.

.....William Derrick of Botham St cant recall the number but he lived in middle bit left hand side going down.Same yard as where the Marsh's lived....

It must have been No 46 - here is a scan from the 1942 directory. By 1954 Walter Marsh had moved into No 56, the former occupant of which, George Orrell, had died in 1947.

Thanks Hillsboro,and my best pal at school was Margaret Hutchinson that lived next door at 48 but couldn't for the life of me remember it.

Don't think Sheila went only Liz , tallish, dark hair as I remember. It was above Smiths motorbike shop, around where a milliners used to be.

If I can remember correctly, why the lack of 'odd' numbers not showing the middle and upper section of Botham St, this would be on the right side looking down. I was asking hillsbro about another matter quite sometime ago and if I remember correctly he said the houses were classed as 'back to back' and not registered or recorded as such, now we all know that wasn't the case, but there you go, so there's sides of Botham St intersected by Petre St that is not showing the people that lived there and if that's the case there must have been many other areas of Sheffield not recorded also.
