retep Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 19 minutes ago, Naughty Nana said: I know this topic has probably long closed, but if there is anyone out there who can help me find my Gt.Grandfather, William (Walter) Hartley I would be eternally grateful. I have been trying to locate him since I started researching my tree in 2005. On his marriage certificate dated 1883 it shows his address as Martin Street, the number looks like a 3 written backwards stroke 8, though it could be 4 or 7, and he was by trade a Fenceman. His father was also William Hartley a Cutler. His wife is shown as Amelia Michie and prior to marriage lived on Sylvester Street. Amelia had an illegitimate son Maurice who was born 1881, and married William Walter 2yrs later. so I am trying establish whether William Walter is my Gt. Grandfather or Gt.Stepfather. All certificates relating to Maurice state "no father", but he carries the name Maurice Hartley Michie. They moved to 44, Smithfield and later Maurice and his wife Annie ran the White Hart Pub on Russell St., now known as Kelham Island. I am aware this is a long shot but I will never give up trying as I cannot get any further with my tree until this is settled. If William Walter had siblings maybe I can trace them, other than that it will be as I suspected, I have blue blood running through my veins and am part of the Royal Family. Thanks for reading this.

desy Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) On 23/07/2008 at 23:43, deecee said: mick851, I have the photo of Crookesmoor showing the " Tip " Martin Street, Wentworth Street,and Bromley Street . The photo was taken after the war , I would hazard a guess at early 1950 ish , the reason being that all of Martin Street is standing right up to the "Tip " , the Crookesmoor school annexe's are there and the railings are gone from the side of the footpath on Bromley Street . These were taken down for scrap for the war effort and never got put back. Also if you can zoom in to the photo you will see that the gate post on the left is minus it's fancy topper and this is on the ground were it landed after being pulled off by one of the wire tethers on a barage balloon during the war. I delivered newspapers on Martin Street until 1959 , a lot of my school pals ( Crookesmoor)lived there . I lived on Bromley Street just behind the shop in the photo , and across the street when I got married until we were rehoused in 1967. Asaw mentions Catherine Idle , she lived on Bromley Street just below us at number 97 . Here is the link to the photo , hope it's ok for you deecee http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/crookesmoorlad/crookesrec.jpg Catherine Idell married name goes under Katie Rhodes Edited February 17, 2021 by desy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the Whites fruit and veg cart well as I was paid 3 pence (old money) to follow it with a bucket and small coal shovel to collect horse droppings for our neighbour to put on his roses 🤢 On 06/02/2021 at 21:39, Runningman said: Brian Hale, once of 4 Martin Street, passed away a couple of months ago.
