mrsnoo Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I believe that Charlie Peace and his wife(?) lived in the old vicerage on Industry Road at Darnall when he first met Mrs Dyson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travann Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Although research has shown that we wasn't related to Charlie, it must have been terrible to have the name of 'Peace' around that time. My Mom was called Edith Elsie Peace, there was also Rose, Lily, Arther, William, Annie and Caroline. I think there was some that died young as well. When my Mom needed her birth certificate when she retired at 65 (1972)we saw that she and her two witnesses (Rose & Arther) all signed their names as 'Pearce'. My Mom said they were so ashamed of the name. I've still got the certificate. Good look with your search. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fareast Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 mrsnoo:- Also if I remember rightly from the book I read about him , he had darkened his compexion with some kind of concoction and whilst he was on Remand it began to wear off and that too aroused the suspicions of the warders. In general , he was gifted at disguising himself----and at playing the violin !----Quite a character , to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darra Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 My Grandma who lived on the Manor and Darnall used to tell me that her mother once hid him in their loft. Don't know how true it was though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterw Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I also thought that Charlie Peace lived — certainlly in his burglary years — in a cottage at the junction of Ecclesall Road with Psalter Lane. The house was actually on Psalter Lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazarus Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I have started my family history. My great grandfather P.C. Walter Golding helped arrest Charles Peace in Blackheath in 1878. I did a search for Charlie Peace which your site was one of the results. The site mentioned the Banner Cross Pub which had articles and old newspaper cuttings about Charlie Peace. Is this pub and newspaper still there, anyother information would be brill. Best wishes, and all the best in the Fa cup eric The DYSONS house is still there on ECCLESALL ROAD but it is now a Estate Agents the house is the second one of the two that make up the shop. The alleyway where Peace shot Mr Dyson is still there too at the side of the BANNER CROSS pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floridablade Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I was always under the impression he lived in a row of cottages at the end of Psalter lane and Eccleshall Rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSo Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Re: Charles Peace. He was hanged at Armley Prison 25/02/1879. I have a copy of his death certificate. It gives as cause of death: 'Hanging by virtue of a sentence of law'. There was also an old B/W film about him made decades ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
