Unwanted Certificates & Artefacts / Re: An Album of Unwanted Photos Syme, Gill and Strafford

Thank you VERY much for this info and the photo.  I have been trying to tie Alfred Strafford into my family tree, but now I know he was the landlord of the pub and that it is at Sicklinghall that will be a great help.  I assume the photo was from the early part of the 20th century, or 1920s?  Are there any other Straffords mentioned or photographed?  My family are Leeds Straffords so there will be a connection somewhere!

Have just discovered this post - would be most interested in any details of pictures with Straffords in.  Strafford is a Yorkshire family but one or two went to live in Sussex in the early part of the twentieth century.  I would love to see some photos.

anyone come across a photo of St Mary The Virgin, Quarry Hill, Leeds ???

If you put St Mary's Quarry Hill Leeds into google images there is one picture there which shows the church, albeit a long way away.  I remember it well - used to practise the organ there when a student.

There's an Arthur Jubb in my family - he was born 1869 in Balby (nr Doncaster) and married Elizabeth Strafford (b 1871).  He was a Primitive Methodist minister.  He and Elizabeth would have met because his family business provided metal products to the printing trade - Elizabeth's father was a printer.  They had at least 3 children, Arthur Reginald b 1902 Grimsby, Elisie Mary b 1904 Hull and Winston Percy b 1911 Grimsby.  In 1917 they were living in Thornton Heath, Surrey.  Sorry there'a a hundred year gap between your Jubb and mine, but you may be able to fill in the gaps if they're connected.
