Guest TCV Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Wish I was related to Farewell! Another branch of the family is the Calvert's originally from York, Leonard Flint Calvert settled in Sheff and married Mary, both born around 1870 lived at Bodmin Street actually went down to see what's left of the road, not much is the answer and its actually more or less opposite that cemetery on Attercliffe common. Any Burial info on Leonard Flint and Mary Calvert? P.S. Leonard's Dad was a Hair Merchant, did they buy hair off the poor to make wigs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TCV Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Used to know a Billy Calvert, boxer, think he came from the Darnall area. My Dad mentioned him too and some band player? 1st 2nd generation most of my family seem to be from Darnall/Attercliffe and mainly worked in the Steel Works. All these have been my mother's side of the family. The Rudge's on my Dad's maternal line have been impossible to trace, pretty sure his grandfather was Ernest Rudge born in 1889 but can't find anything before then! No parents or Ernest pre 1881!

Seems odd these Elliss's at the same house & in the same grave? Tinsley cemetary is the one near B&Q and the golf course? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughW Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Attercliffe Municipal is behind the site of Christ Church, both being between Attercliffe Road and the Don. This is a map on the Sheffield Indexers site. It's intended to show the internal divisions rather than the setting, but the Don is on the left. The space which contains the word 'entrance' at the bottom is where the church used to be, so this is a post WW2 map. Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TCV Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Sorry for being a pleb is it the one opposite the Junction of Main Road and Attercliffe common there's a Royal bank of Scotland next to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughW Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Correction - on that map it is not the Don itself on the left but an old course of the river. I am not sure which Main Road you mean - I only now Main Road in Darnall. Christ Church and its small graveyard were opposite the top of Worksop Road, with the larger municipal cemetery behind. Definitely Attercliffe Road. The cemetery on Attercliffe Common is the older Hill Top Grave Yard. Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TCV Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Any joy with Annie Bills Oct-Dec 1935, Sheffield 9c 571, aged 63? This one I think, well pretty sure was catholic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TCV Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Used to know a Billy Calvert, boxer, think he came from the Darnall area. I know it sounds daft but my Great grandad Maurice George Calvert had a brother called William, didn't click with me Billy is short for William? He was born 1901 June quarter does that tie in?

Does anyone know how the numbering 125 and the letter c reflect the position in the plot, might narrow down even further the search? You think the C might be a mistake and it could be just K, as I noticed there's a K, Kb and Kc plots? The other thing is because they're listed on the index does that necessarily mean they'll have a headstone? Cheers Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughW Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 There is no guarantee that there is a gravestone. Three of the entries all say 'KC' so I think it is unlikely to be an error. The lower case 'c' indictaes that KC is in the 'consecrated' part of the cemetery - that is, the Anglican part. I have only been to Tinsley Park once and I can't remember much about it. Did you see grave numbers on any of the gravestones? I will pm some other info that might be useful. Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TCV Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Thanks Hugh So they're Anglican then, as I know their son was married to a catholic in a catholic church. As for the numbering on the graves, no there werent any, I know what u mean tho when I went to Burngreave there were the grid references in chalk on the back of some headstones which were useful.
