In 1901 also living with the O'Reilly's was brother in law Thomas Horton age 50 (Widower)b Sheffield and his daughter Christina - presumably the father and sister of Elizabeth.

I think this was Thomas Horton and family in 1891 living in Shefffield

Thomas Horton 37    Head Steel Roller b Sheffield
Sarah Horton 34 Wife
Christana Horton    2    Daughter
Sarah Pugh 81    Mother-in-law born Down Ireland
Catharine Pugh 19    Niece

The mother in law's surname ties in with the mothers maiden name on this GRO Birth Index birth for Elizabeth Horton
HORTON, ELIZABETH mmn    PUGH
GRO Ref: 1894 D Qrtr SHEFFIELD Vol 09C Page 575

Thank you.

Does anything show up on the 1911 census?

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Elizabeth Horton

Hi,

Can anyone help me find the family details of Elizabeth Horton, born 21st September 1894 in Sheffield, and died Q4 1958.

We are trying to find out who her parents were. She married in 1915, we believe to Samual David Wood.

In the 1901 census, she was living with her Aunt and Uncle, James and Elizabeth O'Reilly, in Brightside, Sheffield.

Thanks in advance

The Common Room / Re: Harry Hall football career

« on: Wednesday 05 June 24 20:43 BST (UK) »

Hi. I don't know if it was established who Harry Hall was and which clubs he played for. There was a Harry Hall who played for Sheffield United through the 1914-15 season - the year they won the FA Cup!

This Harry Hall was born in Q3 1893 in Newark. He signed for the Blades in April 1913 in a £65 deal from Long Eaton St Helens. Before this he played for Gainsborough Trinity, Newark, and Long Eaton Rangers. He made his United debut on 14th March 1914 in a 2-0 loss at Chelsea. He played a total of 7 times - this includes a WW1 appearance (his last in a United shirt) on 4th September 1915 - a 7-3 defeat at Lincoln City. He also may have appeared as a WW1 guest for Nottingham Forest.

His appearances at Bramall Lane were towards the end of the 1913-14 season. His final professional game for the Blades came on 1st April in a 1-0 loss in the FA Cup Semi-Final at Goodison Park.

After United he played for Long Eaton (1919), Worksop Town, Ilkeston United (Oct 1920), Sheffield Wednesday (signed for £300 in Dec 1920 to Feb 1922), Lincoln City, Gainsborough Trinity (again), Newark Town (Aug 1922), Long Eaton St Helens (again), Grantham Town (Feb 1924), and Ransome & Marles (Aug 1927).

Deaths to 2021 are available to search online at https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp

No death listed 2005 - 2021

In the meantime his name should be removed as a precaution and also from your subject header

I have done this concerning the possibility that he may still be alive. I have posted this on behalf of my father and I did explain this to him (though as the poster, I accept full responsibility). The information came from a family member who was told this person had passed away.

We had seen the information regarding addresses in London during the 1950s. Naturally, if they are no longer with us, then its safe to suggest it was after this period. Is there a way to find this out?

Have you located him on the 1939 register

ADDED I have just located his parents and there is a line still redacted which could be him. This could indicate he is still living $:-\$

I have removed his names from my post heading

Would you be able to PM with information?

We believe he was alive after 1939.

Somerset / AJBF

« on: Saturday 10 September 22 14:25 BST (UK) »

I am searching for information regarding AJBF. He was born in 1932 (4th quarter), in Axbridge, Somerset. He was the eldest child to parents Ernest Arthur John Byrne Fluck (b. 28.04.1903), and Alice Mary Gosling. We are trying to trace his death details.

An ancestor of the family strongly believes that he died at an early age but does not know when or where. I appreciate that this is less than 100 years, however, it is believed that he is no longer alive.

Thank you, we've searched high and low at this and just couldn't work it out.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / John Holland born 1808

« on: Tuesday 26 October 21 13:38 BST (UK) »

Can anyone help with the information, please, regarding the parents of John Holland, born 1808 in Sheffield?

There are two possible baptisms listed at the Sheffield Cathedral; 1) born; 18 February 1808. bap; 20 March 1808 to John Holland (cutler), and Elizabeth. And 2) born 13 May 1808, to Mark Holland (scissorsmith), and Jane.

We know that he married Matha Scholes on 22 August 1830, in Handsworth, Sheffield. Records do not state his parent's names.

We are struggling to decipher which baptism record (if either), is correct, and we appreciate any help anyone can offer.

Paul, it's Rootschat policy not to name any possible living persons. I have attached a link to Freebmd (not sure if you have used this site before.

https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

If you click on births, surname Watkins, mother's surname Stone and years between 1925-1939 you should get 6 results. I think the first might not be William & Muriels.

Any problems get to to us.

John

Now I understand. To be honest, when you mentioned 1939 I thought something different. I thought that you meant that there was some sort of accident (war maybe) where several people were killed.

I have researched Muriel and her husband's lineage but never the Stone family itself. It came from a conversation with a family member who believes that Muriel and Doris had a brother who later died in some sort of accident, either involving a motorbike or a bus and he died whilst trying to assist in rescuing people from the bus. There is allegedly a newspaper article, I'm trying to find said article but I have no names or dates so that is where I am starting.
