Anyone know of Axelby?

[willybite 10]

Thinking about it,i think you are right,it was Bowden Street they lived on.

 

hiya, down bowden st there was the back wall to the washington then a piece of spare land where some kind of buildings had been that led to the houses just below the pub and below that on bowden st across from wolstenholmes were a lot of little mesters making penknives and such, we would watch them for ages when we were young, and further down was a little jewish cemetary this was just before milton st.

my grandmother was an axleby[sarah jane] if you want a family tree look on ancestry. co .uk under crookes family tree or contact me.they originate in ireland.

Hya, I initially posted the query as my mum (born 1918) was an Axelby and although I never met Grandad Axelby (her Dad) I do believe he was Irish.

She had sisters Winnie plus Kate plus brothers Dan/Joe/Dennis and no doubt others that I cannot recall.

Didn't Alesha Axelby have an older brother called Spencer? I used to go to Abbey Lane School with them.

hiya ,when seeing the name axelby jogged my memory, it was of someone who lived around where i lived in the 40s/50s around fitzwilliam st/thomas st/broomhall district, the name dennis came to mind.

 

i also lived in fitzswilliam street just below the washington hotel we had an axelby family in our yard i think the daughter was called Rita her dad drove a steam roller.

There is a Saxilby in Notts and Kevin S played cricket for that county-a decent fast bowler.

I've got a very old knife, stamped

J. Axelby & Sons

Axe

Sheffield

 

 

(flat 5" blade, bone? handle)

We use it for butter etc.

I know this is an old discussion but we have a set of knives made by J Axelby and sons and they are our family firm!! they were passed down to us.
