Stunmon Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I remember, as a child in the 1950s that we sometimes visited an Auntie Trixie who lived, I think, in the Broomhill end of town, and who we believed to be a relative of our father.. We never questioned it but of recent years have found our fathers past to be somewhat complicated!!! Does anyone on the Forum remember having a family member called Trixie? I know its a long shot!!!!

eldomsmith Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 This may also be a long shot. Does the surname Moss mean anything to you? In the 1980s there was an old woman called Trixie Moss (was middle name Mary) who lived at Stumperlowe Mansions, Stumperlowe Lane Fulwood. She was quite eccentric and a heavy smoker. I and my colleagues seemed to be there quite often (telephones) repairing damage. I recall a house fire caused by a cigarette killed her possibly mid '80s (check Sheffield Star???)

Stunmon Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Thanks but Moss doesn't ring any bells. Grateful for the information!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organgrinder Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 In the early 70's, there used to be a lady called Trixie living on High Broomspring on the Broomhall Flats. She was a regular in the lounge of "The Domino" pub She was a very small lady with very dark hair and always very smart and was married to a guy called Dougie who suffered very poor health (I knew their surname but can't recall it now). After Dougie died, she moved to an address on John Street. Last heard of (by me) in the 1980's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
