Good Morning to all, My dad (aged 92)asked me a question last night, expecting me to provide the answer immediately, the question, Can you find an old army pal of his from 1940. His name was John Ward and he came from Brighouse in Yorkshire. The regiment was the Duke of Wellingtons'. Now, I might be good, but not that good, so, does anyone out there who JUST might be researching that name of WARD, or if anyone has another suggestions, (kind ones only please). still looking for anybody with a connection to the following names Many thanks John Hume in dull and overcast Nottingham (we need some rain to stop me from working in the garden PLEASE) BAKER-PROSSER - LONDON BEAL - 1883 - SHEFFIELD BOIK - 1823 - SOUTH AFRICA/SCOTLAND BROGDEN - 1800 - COLLINGHAM YORK BROOKS - 1853 - ROTHERHAM BUCKLAND - 1880 - NOTTINGHAM CATER - 1929 - SHEFFIELD CLARK - 1825 - HULL/INKBERROW CRAWSHAW - 1886 - SHEFFIELD GIGG - LONDON HARRISON - NOTTINGHAM (SNEINTON) WILSTROP - YORK ALWAYS LOOKING FOR HUME, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME

Thank you for your help, have been given the same site by three kind people, and have printed copy of Feoffes Hall for my family records. Would there be any further information about the staff at the school for 1861-1881 that I could look at.

DeAnn, There's a place called 'The Wheel' a mile or so to the West of Ecclesfield. I don't know if it's marked on the modern maps but I have found it on the 1 inch map of 1855.

Hello DeAnne and Lisa, The Wheel is a street name which still exists. It is a section of the road that runs west from Ecclesfield Village towards Grenoside. White's 1919/20 Directory includes the following : Parker, David file manufacturer (D. & Sons), Lynwood, The Wheel Parker, Mrs. Jane cowkeeper The Wheel Parker, Norman Wm. file manufr (D Parker & Sons), Oakdene, The Wheel Parker, D. & Sons file manufrs. Excelsior Works, Station road There are lots of Parkers in Ecclesfield in 1901. I think the following household may include the Thomas mentioned on that site and Mrs Jane the cowkeeper from the directory: 1901 census index census place: Yorks Ecclesfield Thomas Parker 60 Farmer Yorks Ecclesfield Jane Parker 61Yorks Ecclesfield Frank Parker 23 Joiner Yorks Ecclesfield Thomas Parker 20 Farmers Son Yorks Ecclesfield Hugh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lisa Brammer" <[email protected]> To: "DeAnne Rosen" <[email protected]> Cc: "Sheffield list" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 06, 2007 8:12 AM Subject: Re: [SHEFF] Fw: Re family history > Hi DeAnne > > I had Roscoe Wheel on one of my census retruns (Roscoe Wheel is one of the waterwheels along Rivelin valley) it could be that he lived/worked at a waterwheel - which being a file cutter and cow keeper is feasible. > > Lisa > SHEFFIELD > ----- Original Message ---- > From: DeAnne Rosen <[email protected]> > To: Eng-Sheffield <[email protected]>; [email protected] > Sent: Monday, 6 August, 2007 1:05:41 AM > Subject: Re: [SHEFF] Fw: Re family history > > > Thank you, Hugh, for this site. > > I was interested in the Church Street photo.

Hi DeAnne I had Roscoe Wheel on one of my census retruns (Roscoe Wheel is one of the waterwheels along Rivelin valley) it could be that he lived/worked at a waterwheel - which being a file cutter and cow keeper is feasible.
