Walkley This used to be a branch of "Rare and Racey" I wonder if it will escape being "breeze blocked up", like most of the other shops that have been converted into houses have been.

HughW Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Wrong! The Mary Ann LEMONS who married Levi WRAGG was the sister of Francis LEMONS. Thomas in the 1879 Directory is the father of Francis and Mary Ann. He died the following year. He had previously had a butcher's shop on Broad Lane: 16 Dec 1854 Sheffield and Rotherham Independent It can be tricky tracing these buildings through the records as shops and houses are added to the street: these shops appear to have had 4 different numbers during the course of the 1870's, but had their current numbers in the 1881 census. 1871 census 116 South Road (=278)Thomas LEMONS Head Marr 69 Cow Keeper SheffieldMary A LEMONS Wife Marr 62 SheffieldMary A LEMONS Dau Unm 19 Sheffield (118 South Road Samuel GILBERT file maker/Ellen GILBERT drapers shop keeper) 120 South Road (=282)Francis LEMONS Head Marr 29 butcher SheffieldElizabeth LEMONS Wife Marr 31 RotherhamMaryer[sic] LEMONS Dau 7 scholar SheffieldMary Ann LEMONS Dau 3 SheffieldFrancis LEMONS Son 1 Sheffield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
