The maw family in Sheffield

Recommended Posts

Sorry for duplicate posts today, but I’m very new to this, and still newer to computers.

 

To answer your post denlin – The Maw brothers coal business was in Woodhouse and as far as I remember they always had red lorries (could be wrong). Also I don’t know anyone from High Greave. I think the one with the blue lorry is W Maw and are based in Rotherham. My dad was WT Maw, and the name on the lorry was Maw Bros, coal and haulage.

 

Maw Bros from Woodhouse ,always a red lorry, it used to deliver to my parents house. Understand they were a very well known family around Woodhouse.

On my Grandmothers side of my tree I have Andrew Maw 1625, born in Haxey, Lincs. This part of the family lived in that area until c1800 when a branch named Tinker came to Sheffield, mid 1800s the Tinkers married into the Woodward family, this being my Great Grandmothers name.

 

This is also my family on my grandfathers side..

Ellen Tinker Woodward was my grandfathers mother..:)

I know there is a Maw family who live on or around the Manor / Woodthorpe. Quite a large family, and the ones I know are in their late 20's and early 30's. Can only remember a few names, Stacey, Dean and Shane, I think.

I used to go to school with Shane Maw. :)

Hi, as I said earlier I am originally a Maw. The coal merchant on yew lane was my Grandad Frank Maw seniors brother. His name was Wilf. He lived with his sister, Florance. She had a son called Athony. He was eventually left the coal business. My Dad, Frank Maw junior worked for his uncle in his youth, till he bought his own round.

The Maws in Penistone and Chapeltown, are brothers and sisters, and there father was Arthur, also a brother of Frank and Wilf.The others I believe were called : Emmerson, Ephraim, Alf, Herbert, Minnie and Annie. There was another rother called Ernest who died young. I do have a list of some of their offspring. Their Father was called Marmaduke. If anybody wants any more info email cathylomas@live.co.uk

Yes that right, Anthony and my Dad both worked on their uncles coal round. I remember going as a young girl. Uncle Wilf had chickens running in and out of the kitchen!

Maws also lived at High Green. They were related to the Ecclesfield Maws.
