Violet Leach nee Hancock

[julie leach]

Hi i am trying to trace my family tree and so far i have managed to do my mothers families and my fathers fathers but have become stuck on my fathers mother. My gran Violet Hancock had a brother Tom/ thomas who had a wife also named Violet and grans older sister Harriot was more like a mum to her as she was that much older. Violet married Joseph Leach whos family were around the Wednesday ground and gran always said she was born in Walkley. Any help would be appreciated. Gran`s date of birth was 22/11/1913 and she died i believe in June of 2001.

Hi Julie

Your Grans birth is probably this one:

Registered: Dec QTr 1913 Violet HANCOCK District: Ecclesall Bierlow Vol 9c Page 799 Mothers Maiden name FELLOWS

Other births registered HANCOCK with mothers maiden name FELLOWS

Sep 1911 Ecc Bierlow 9c 750 Charles A HANCOCK

Jun 1916 Ecc Bierlow 9c 759 Thomas W HANCOCK

Jun 1919 Ecc Bierlow 9c 551 Colin HANCOCK

The references quoted are needed to purchase relevant certificates to prove you have the right line.

A possible marriage for your Grt Grandparents is:

Dec 1893 Ecc Bierlow 9c 383

Herbert HANCOCK & Sarah Harriet FELLOWS

This cert will give their fathers names and occupations, their ages and place of abode at time of marriage.

Assuming these are the correct people, from 1901 Census

Wood Lane Stannington

Herbert HANCOCK age 32 Iron Worker born Sheffield

Sarah H HANCOCK wife age 29 born Grimesthorpe

Sarah H HANCOCK dau age 6

John A HANCOCK son age 4

Leading onto 1911 census

Herbert 44 Engine Fitter

Sarah Harriet age 36 Grimesthorpe

Sarah Harriet age 16 born Pitsmoor

John Arthur son age 14 born Heeley

Harry son age 9 born stannington

Jessica dau age 2 born Walkley

Residing at 83 Greaves Street Walkley

Viiolets sister Harriet maybe the one listed as Sarah Harriet? they often were called by their middle names

Hope this helps

Hello Hugh, Thanks for your reply with information as regards to burials in City Road Cemetery. My grandparents and my father are up there but gran never said her parents were there. Another puzzle to solve.
