How wonderful to find this.................. thread?

My mother was born in 1900 and was brought up in Fitzwilliam st.

Told me how the family were so poor a lady, spotting her and her sister in the cathedral gardens took them to a shoe shop and bought them a pair each.

Her maiden name was Calton.

Three years after your very informative post re Reuben Crosby - many thanks and my sincere and humble apologies for my tardy thanks.

 

if you go onto the St. Silas thread you may find a lot of info there about the people and places in the 50s-60s

In case it's of interest to anyone, here is a turn-of-the-century map of the area. The approximate locations of 79 Thomas Street and 133 Fitzwilliam Street are arrowed..:)

 

Sincere thanks for your time and effort in posting this information. Later this year when I return to Sheffield I will carry a print-out and no doubt discover what is no longer there.
