hi kay
i will try and explain the best i can.
first of all this is a freind of mines family,
she is kath sneesby,she also told me about a steam engine ,
her mother was bella idona oadley born1921 traveller.
her father was charles william oadley born 1889 derbyshire
he married hilda kitts, born 1894
his father was robert oadley ,born 1866 he married harriet whiting,
her father was samuel whiting, also a traveller.
i have robert james west marriage certificate,
he was the father of robert oadley born 1866,
robert james west married emma skitchley ,also a traveller.
robert james west lived with a lady befor he married emma, and that is when he had robert and i think another two boys ,there could have been more children,thats the part i am trying to find out about,
now robert james west murded his wife emma in 1889.
at handsworth sheffield.
he was hanged at wakefield jail,
kath also said that hilda kitts who married charles ,later married culleo an ice cream vendor.
so we are talking about the same family.
there is a book called the sheffield murders, and it tells all about the murder,
i have the news paper reports from the archives, but they are very blurred,
but it tells you more in the book.
hope you can understand all this,
if you want to know anything more , just ask,
patricia,
