Do you know if any Hughes family members, or any records still in Treeton.

This isn’t actually a question about the website, I wanted to post a question (unless you know the answer). Does anyone know what the camera type thing is that is up a street light on high hazel road in treeton, and who is responsible for it, it is just opposite Admiral Biggs Drive? Kind regards R.S.

We have come into posession of the death certificate of James John Bamforth who was born in Handsworth Woodhouse. The certificate tallies with a family story. he was killed in December 1867 by a train near 'Pigeon Bridge Colliery'. he was a collier. The inquest was held in Worksop. We believe that the site of the accident is somewhere in the Rother Valley. Family legend has it that he was killed on his wedding day, presumably after finishing his shift and hurrying to meet his bride. A tragic tale! We would very much like to pinpoint the site so that we can visit it and honour his memory. I have already contacted Rother Valley Country Park but they have no knowledge of a likely site.

I have been trying to find information about the old Board School in Catcliff and came upon your website with all the local pictures on it. You are well-versed with the area, so I hope you won't mind me asking your assistance.
I have looked at a map of the area and wondered if the infant and junior school on old school lane might be the one I am looking for?
My husband's Gt. Aunt, taught at the Board School in the late 1890's and early 1900's She had lived at 13 Brinsworth Road, so the close proximity of the school on Old School Lane, made me think it might be that one.
Photos of the school and staff at this period of time would be the icing on the cake!
The lady in question is Alice JOWATT. nee DAVIS. She is recorded on the 1901 census as living with her husband, Edmund and two children, Annie and John, at 13 Brinsworth Road Catlciffe. Occupation :- 'Assistant Mistress Board School' .
Contact us with any information.

I recently visited Treeton as was the birthplace of my mother Joyce Helen Thompson, born 13th November 1929. Would be interested to hear from anyone who knows anything about the Thompson's who lived in Rother Road.
