littlemester Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Hi VMAX I'm the Herbert Housley who wrote "Grinders & Buffers" and "Back To The Grindstone", I'm intrigued to know who your great gran was. My dad, also Herbert Housley, had four sisters but only two of them Ada and Lily had any children, which of those was your great gran? His other two sisters were Dolly & Hetty, his brothers were John, Joe and Charles who died in WW1, my own brother Charles, named after dad's brother, died as a Japanese POW on the notorious Burma railway. I've visited his grave. On June 4th 2008, my wife and I became great grandparents for the first time, I'll be 83 next September and we celebrate our diamond wedding (60 years) next month.

spiritualcha Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I have a mystery - Elizabeth Housley born 1830 married William Shirtcliffe but she had two children Emily and Charles before the marriage date. Now when Emily married she married using Emily Housley and used the name of George Housley who was actually her grandfather - have you come across this branch in your research! Emily Naylor Housley 1853 I have Elizabeth marrying William as her first husband with son Charles Shirtcliffe born 1849. Then marrying John Foster born 1849, (At the time of their marriage 27 Dec 1869 in St Georges Church, Sheffield. Elizabeth's son Charles was the same age as his stepfather) on their wedding certificate, Elizabeth said she was 32 and John said he was 27 so that the aged gap of 19 years was not noticeable! Elizabeth and John had a daughter Florence Foster born 1871 in Sheffield... buried 1935 City Road Cemetary, Sheffield, South Yorkshire (No 23462 Section II) Florence had a son Charles Alfred Foster b: 29 Jul 1895 in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.. father unknown. Charles married Beatrice Ida Whomersley and had 11 children. Elizabeth 1830 was the daughter of George Housley and Harriot Kirkby, Sister to Barnet.

ALZYMER Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I used to go to Owler Lane Intermediate school, then later Hinde House school with a Chris Housley in 1960-64. He used to live above a shop on City Road I think. If anyone knows what he's doing these days, it would be great to hear from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
