There is a death for a John Mottram Scaife 19 days old died 1906 and buried in Wadsley Church Cemetery - I think Agnes was a Mottram so it maybe her baby. Wadsley church maybe worth a look!!

 

thats really interesting because my grandad was born the year after that so it could be linked to the family as there were a lot of infant deaths around then, and you are right she was a mottram. she died at the age of 49 years of age, my grandad was then only 15 years of age.

Was your Grandad Gordon ?

 

If this is him in 1911 they lived on Carlsle st. at this time his parents had 6 children and had lost 11 children, his father William Henry was a steelworks labourer. Times were hard and a lot of graves were unmarked, but I would guess at City Rd or Burngreave from that area.

 

I you pm me email address I will send you the 1911 census sheet. Hope this helps.

City Road should have records for all te cemeteries in Sheffield so one visit should be enough
