RichardB Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Any clues as to the location of Ivy Cottage please ? i.e. a district ? What evidence do you already have of Ivy Cottage and Mary/Erasmus ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunsbyowl1867 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 A long shot ? Ivy cottages - Whitely woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayleaf Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 A long shot ? Ivy cottages - Whitely woods. That would have been my first guess, but then there is/was also Ivy Cottage on Ivy Cottage Lane just a bit higher up the valley. I think both would be in Ecclesall Bierlow, the river being the boundary between that and Upper Hallam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lozzie Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Hi Clive What is your connection to Mary Staniforth & Francis?? From Parish Registers I have information that Erasmus Steel was the reputed father of Francis Staniforth son of Mary. However the baptism was c 1831 and Mary was only 17/18 years of age. This was in the Handsworth/Woodhouse district? Could it possibly be the same one? Look forward to your reply Loz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lozzie Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Hi Clive Just checked in the book Sicklesmiths & Spear Carriers and it does list Mary Staniforth as being of Ivy Cottage, Hackenthorpe......which was in those days Derbyshire Look forward to your reply Loz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest skeets Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 There was ,or perhaps still is, a pub at Walkley named IVY COTTAGE, Skeets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest clive Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Ivy cottage I believe was in Hackenthorpe. Further than that I dont know. Mary Staniforth was born approx. 1813/14 and had a child about 1831 called Francis, the father reputed to be Erasmus Steel but I can find no record of him either before or after the event. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lozzie Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Hi Clive If you go to Central Library they have a copy of "Sicklesmiths & Spear Carriers" in the reference only section. It does give some detail in this book about these people. Francis went to Australia. I do have details of his marriage, birth of his children etc etc supplied to me from a friend in Oz. Rosamund also has these details in her book. Are they your ancestors? How are you connected? Regards Loz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan J. Staniforth Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Sorry to resurrect such an old thread but after finally getting in touch with Clive to let him know he's my distant Australian Cousin, I wanted to let everyone know where the mysterious Ivy Cottage is at Hackenthorpe. If you know The Sportsman Inn on Main Street, there is an area to its left that looks to be a large group of trees, however in the dead center you will notice what looks to be a bit of a driveway, if you go up there, you will find Ivy Cottage. You would not know the house was there if you were on the road, if you look at Google Maps you can just about make out the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing, I grew up in Hackenthorpe and never knew there was a house behind the trees there at the side of the pub, even my grandad had no idea and he remembers the blacksmith, horses going up and down Main street etc, but he hadn't a clue where Ivy Cottage was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
