Also really intrigued by the dates that you have information for - I've never come across data for 1883, 1889 or 1912 - Will you Marry me ? Or, failing that, maybe we need to exchange more data between us ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widow's Hut, 21 Meadow Street, Sarah Anne Dickenson, Widow, aged 32, 1891 [May be worth chasing in 1881; maybe under the name Henson] From Michael Liversidge's 'Sheffield Public Houses' "This hut was kept by James Wood in 1833 when it had no name above the door. By the 1920 it was known locally as the Widows Hut, supposedly a meeting place for local women". perhaps he meant 1883! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly unlikely it had been around for nearly 100 years and we've found no mention of it. I like the idea of a meeting place, though 1920 is a long way out from our one known keeper.
