SELLARS Family from Frecheville area of Sheffield

[maidofhonour 10]

Hi to anyone following this posting

Please feel free to jump in with any information you might have as because of the generous gift of help on here I am a lot further on with my family tree than I thought I would ever get.

As I said before I now have the marriage certificate for Eileen Walsh and Walter Sellars and have their addresses at the time of their marriage in 1959 of Hopefield Avenue and Stone Delf. I also now have Winifreds death certificate from 1983 and find that she was living in sheltered accommodation on Ridgeway Road.

However I am still not much further with Walter Sellars junior who I am told was a teacher at Gleadless Valley School. I don't seem to have found anything more about him other than he died in Bridlington in 2001 and his wife Eileen was to survive him by another 10 years. I wish I could find out more about his teaching career.

Thanks again for everyones help!

Hi maidofhonour, Eileen and Walter lived in Dronfield (Poplar Close) in the 90's I remember them well and kept in contact when the moved to Bridlington. Eileen never mentioned any family so maybe they never had any children. I used to be in contact with a teacher of music who worked with Walter alas with time contact was lost. Both Eileen and Walter are remembered fondly.

I remember Mrs Sellars at Sheffield High (I was there 1962 -69)Her husband ,Walter ,taught at Gleadless Valley School around that time, though I can't remember what his subject was. I know this because my mother was the secretary at Gleadless Valley for some years & would often come home with tales of Walter's doings - I think he was mildly eccentric!

 

Hi jstarr

I was hoping too that you could get in touch with your email address as I would love to hear some of the stories about Walter junior as I believe now I have the correct Walter Sellars and that he was a teacher at Gleadless Valley.

He would have been my great cousin.

Please PM me if possible.

Many thanks
