togger Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Hi All, I have two relatives that died in 1916 but on modern maps and on Google Earth i cannot find the roads or on the maps on this site (unless i have missed them). I dont know where they were in Sheffield either which is not a great help. 1. 33 Marcus Street 2. 3c 7h Newham Road I was wondering if anyone can help please?

jmdee Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 According to my map of 1923, Marcus St. ran off Rock St. in the Burngreave area. There is no listing of Newham Rd. but there was a Newman Rd. in the Wincobank district. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
togger Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 I have just checked and it is deffo Newham Road unless it has been transcribed wrong ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I have just checked and it is deffo Newham Road unless it has been transcribed wrong ? 3c 7h indicates that the road at that time was based on a series of courtyards each with a collection of houses using the communal yard. I read that as "3rd court 7th house Newham Road" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveHB Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Newman Road ? 1905 Flash Earth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
togger Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 It must be Newman road and a transcription error if there is not a Newham road. Dave, how far away is this house from BurngreaveWilson Cemetary please ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Newman Road ? 1905 Flash Earth Well, it's only a single letter out on the spelling so could just be a transcription error, and it does have a number 3 court with at least 7 houses in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveH Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 It must be Newman road and a transcription error if there is not a Newham road.

Thanks for the map too, which one on the site is it please ? Nicola Wilson wrote a book 'Burngreave Voices' the cut was taken from a 1905 map, and is not available on here.
