Smithy40 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Hi, I am looking for any relatives or information regarding a George and Lydia Radford who owned the Railway Hotel on Broughton Lane in Attercliffe at the end of the 19th century. In 1880 George Radford purchased two plots of land one from a Thomas Brooks and the second from the Trustees of the third Woodland View Land Society. I am looking for information as I currently own the property that was built on the two plots and am trying to trace some history of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUFFEMS Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 There's this, courtesy of sheff-indexers site: Radford, George (, Inns & Taverns). Residing at Railway Hotel, Broughton Lane, Attercliffe, Carbrook, etc. in 1871. Recorded in: Whites Sheffield & District Directory - 1871. On the 1871 census, this is George Radford with his iwfe Lydia and their children: Name: George Radford Age: 48 Estimated birth year: abt 1823 Relation: Head Spouse's name: Lydia Gender: Male Where born: Worksop, Nottinghamshire, England Civil parish: Attercliffe Cum Darnall, Broughton Lane, Railway Tavern. Ecclesiastical parish: Trinity Town: Attercliffe County/Island: Yorkshire Country: England Registration district: Sheffield Sub-registration district: Attercliffe ED, institution, or vessel: 12 Household schedule number: 233 George Radford 48 Lydia Radford 43 Emily Radford 22 Mary A Radford 16 George Radford 14 Lydia Radford 9 On the 1851 census George is a "Boatman" living at "Canalside". It looks as though Jeremiah Radford had the Railway Inn before George Radford took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
