CoolHandSax Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 On Picture Sheffield there is a photo, taken in 1923, of a delivery lorry belonging to Charles W. Saxby, Coal Merchant and Haulage Contractor of 64, Mount Pleasant Road. Since we share the same (not too common) surname I was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about him?

HughW Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I've found that there were two Charles Williams, father and son. I think this is both of them in the 1925 directory at SheffieldIndexers: SAXBY, Charles William (~, Coal Dealer). Address: 64 Mount Pleasant Road, ~ in 1925. Recorded in: Sheffield & Rotherham Kelly?s Directory. SAXBY, Charles William (~, Coal Merchant and Motor Haulage Contractor). Address: 168 Vincent Road, ~ in 1925. Recorded in: Sheffield & Rotherham Kelly?s Directory. This is the family in the 1911 census: 1911 census Chas William SAXBY Head Marr 47 grocer’s assistant (out of work) born Sheffield Annie Burgoyne SAXBY Wife Marr 37 born Sheffied (married 16 years, 9 children, 6 living) Chas William SAXBY Son 15 errand boy (removers etc) born Sheffield Stanley SAXBY Son 14 cutler’s apprentice born Sheffield May SAXBY Dau 9 school girl born Sheffield Percy Burgoyne SAXBY Son 7 school boy born Sheffield Edith SAXBY Dau 3 ‘baby’ born Sheffield ---------- Post added 03-07-2016 at 21:28 ---------- Charles William senior probably found difficulty getting work in a grocer's because in 1902 he was convicted of stealing spirits from his employer and was sentenced to 2 months hard labour.

CoolHandSax Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 I don't believe they would be direct relations but interesting all the same. Many thanks for your reply Hugh your time & effort is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
