smiths565 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I have been researching men who worked for Vickers Steelworks, Sheffield, England, who fell in the Great War 1914-18. Whilst researching details of William Whysall, I found his family living at 'Buttys Lump' Attercliffe when the 1891 census was taken. Has anybody ever heard of this address/place? Can anybody tell me where it was? Stannington Roll Of Honour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

multiparvo1 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Butty's Lump, Broughton Lane was a square of small houses previously known as Huntsmans Houses below the bridge to the right hand side as you go down Broughton Lane towards Attercliffe, the site of the new Centertainment Complex. My Grandfather was born at No.2. Huntsmans Houses in 1866. I think it got the name of Butty's Lump after 1890. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drolnhoj Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Butty's Lump, Broughton Lane was a square of small houses previously known as Huntsmans Houses below the bridge to the right hand side as you go down Broughton Lane towards Attercliffe, the site of the new Centertainment Complex. My Grandfather was born at No.2. Huntsmans Houses in 1866. I think it got the name of Butty's Lump after 1890. The 1903 Alan Godfrey OS Map of Attercliffe clearly shows the Huntsman buildings, exactly where you say. It also describes them as follows: "Huntsman's buildings off Broughton Lane, were tenements provided by Benjamin Huntsman for his colliers at Tinslley Park. More correctly known as Railway cottages by the turn of the century(and euphemistically Sunderland cottages later still)". You can buy the old maps from Waterstones at Meadowhall for £2.20. Or you can see them on this map: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~engsheffield/photos/streets/streetrelated/1890smap.htm They are the six longish buildings at the side of the canal, just to the right of where it says Broughton Lane Sta.

smiths565 Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 "Huntsman's buildings off Broughton Lane, were tenements provided by Benjamin Huntsman for his colliers at Tinsley Park. That fits the man I have researched. the 1891 census lists him, fifteen years old, a miner. His father and elder brother were also miners. 10 Buttys Lump--Broughton Lane can you confirm the Whysall family lived at number 10?

smiths565 Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 Thanks retep. One final question - a strange one Is Henry 9-b-sheffield a boy or a girl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retep Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Good point-he-she is put down as a daur but the age is in the male column so would think its a enumerators mistake, will try and check. checked and he's down as Harry 19 in the 1901 as a miner. I have come across boys with girls names and vice versa,but usally as a middle name. perhaps just to keep a name alive? as an extra william 25 is at ripley 1901 underground coal miner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
