[HughW 10]

Hugh, Thanks for the information, i will send a donation.

The names of my wifes parents are JACK LOY & IVY LOY, [snip]

 

Thanks I have made a note of that grave in our records. If you are ever interested there are LOYs in several other graves in the cemetery.

If I can remember correctly I believe there was an old Jew graveyard at the rear of Charter Row somewhere behind Pinders.

 

It was only small and had railings around it.

 

Maybe it has disappeared with all the new development taking place in that area.

 

If anyone knows the right address I would be obliged.

We used to look into this small Jewish burial plot, which was surrounded by a high wall, from the 4th floor rear window of Eldon House which is on the corner of Rockingham Lane and Charter Row.

There is also a Jewish cemetry at the Ecclesfield end of Colley Rd in Parson Cross. It is well looked after and seems to date back to about 1912.

There was a Synagogue too when I was a kid but this is no longer there

I remember that cemetery from when I lived on Parson Cross in the late 40's & early 50's. We kids irreverently used to say they buried Jews standing up! Shocking.
