Hello Alan,

This is likely to be Harry in 1901. There are other Harry DUCKENFIELDs around so it would be best to prove this is the right one by getting the marriage certificate.

1901 Census     
piece 4348 folio 137 page 10
23 Hodgson St
(Ecclesall B; St Silas)

Harry DUCKENFIELD Head 43 grinder (jobbing)
Hannah Wife 40
Joe Son 18 carter
Harry Son 16 carter
Richard Son 13
Harriett Dau 11
Albert Son 9
Mary Dau 6
John Son 3
(all born in Sheffield)

Ridal Stork Righton Rothery Posted by: christine
Date Posted: September 4th, 2010, 2:43pm
My maternal Grandfather was Albert Ridal died 1960 Crosspool.

His father was the elusive Charles Marshall Ridal b 1851, ivory & horn carver who had a successful business in Sheffield by his death 1919.
I have just received his marriage certificate copy showing his father as George Marshall Ridal, scissors filer.

Can't believe also on my paternal side Righton, there are several Charles Marshalls.
Origins Gloucestershire, Warwickshire ending in Sheffield.

What's with the Marshall.

Just looked at the Censuses and it looks like the road must have been built up during the 1880's. The right family she mentioned were living there in 1891.

Thanks Angela and Hugh for your information. Supposedly No 50 was owned by John Tasker in 1883 but she's not sure about that. I will take a look at the deeds and then go down to the Archives and check the Rate books.

I can only find two households in 1881, at nos. 29 and 30. (ref piece 4627 folio 12 pages 15&16).

In 1891 Tasker Road is at  RG 12/3798 folios 126-127, 133 (only one household on folio 133)

Lois.

Kevin Bennett has indexed the rate books from 1756-1891 and Tasker Road appears for the first time in 1881.

The archives have a copy of the index on disk. The actual rate books are on film not fiche.

The reference is 1881 Nether Hallam 1
Rate Book 563 page 91.

Thanks Hugh for that information and link. He was supposed to have bought it around 1883 but need to see the deeds first to make sure. I tried to find who occupied it in the 1881 census and 1891 census but Tasker Road didn't come up on Find My Past for either so I wondered if there was just a few cottages there at the time and not a road. My friend has two other names on the deeds, one which I found nearby and the other not yet found. I will do as you say and book a microfiche Reader when I get chance.
Thanks again, I knew you'd be able to help.

Infirmary House Visitors Posted by: Maurice
Date Posted: September 3rd, 2010, 10:37am
Hi Angela and others

I have been further researching my ancestor Mark Maugham in local Sheffiled newspapers from the 1800's.

I have found many adverts in these papers for the Sheffield General Infirmary which lists numbers of patients for the week, duty physician etc.
They also name individuals (including on many occassions Mr. Mark Maugham) under

"House Visitors for do."

Does anyone know what this means??  Was he visting all of the in patients as a community service or would he have been visiting a specific patient?

Tasker Road   (reply) Posted by: HughW
Date Posted: September 3rd, 2010, 10:01am
A few observations...

It would be common practice for a successful businessman to own residential property as an investment. He may have owned the land on which Tasker Road was built or acquired houses there later. The ratebooks at Sheffield Archives should be useful as they list both the occupiers and owners of property. They are on microfilm and booking a reader ahead of time is recommended.

The first mention of Tasker Road I can find is in the 1881 census. Is there any reason to believe it existed much before then or that it had a different name? In the 1851 ordnance survey the site is shown as fields.

John Tasker may have rented rather than owned Crookes House. In 1837 the house was owned and occupied by...

Thanks Mark,
Yes I did see that myself and the recent article in the Star. None of it points to why he'd owned this other house on Tasker Road. Hopefully the mystery will be solved on Monday.

Hi Loish711

Found this on the internet perhaps it is the same John Tasker you mention.

Innovator John Tasker lived at Crookes House, on Sackville Road in Crookes.
Established Tasker's Engineering Company in 1839. Making leather and rubber goods.
He brought electricity to Sheffield in the late 1870"s.
Installed one of the first ever provincial telephone exchanges at his Angel Street store. Tasker"s company did the first Floodlit Football Match in the World.
It took place on 14th October 1878 at Bramall Lane.

Just noticed that the company is still in business

Tasker Road Posted by: Loish711
Date Posted: September 2nd, 2010, 2:42pm
A friend of mine has found in the copy of her deeds for her house on Tasker Road that John Tasker,  whom she presumes the road was named after, once owned it. Not found evidence of this in the censuses but can anyone tell me what the road was called before Tasker Road. I'm going to look at the deeds Monday and will update the thread then with any more information. Any links to relevant maps of the time might also help too to solve the mystery.

Hi Dave

Christ Church Stannington was erected in 1830 as a chapelry to St Mary Ecclesfield, so there are no burials there before 1830.

Our burial disc only covers St Marys from 1813 when the new registers were introduced.

Last time I looked Patricia , a couple of months ago, Six pounds was the minimum spend for credits which would buy you a look on the index and a download of the certificate with some left over for other searches.

Angela, thank you,  That is unfortunate, but I guess these things are sent to try us. Maybe I will never know for sure. This Hannah is exactly the right age to have been my mother's mother's mother's father's father's mother Hannah (or Anne) Addey who married Matthew Oates in 1799. They had 2 children Luke 1799 and Matthew Jr 1802. When Luke (my ancestor)started his apprenticeship in 1813 his father was already deceased. I have always assumed his mother would have re-married   (and also assumed Matthew Sr, a cutler of Stannington, died soon after 1802). This one seemed to fit so well.
Interestingly Hannah Revitt went on to become schoolmistress (at something called the Dames School?? according to the 1851 census...

Thank you so much for your help, the information all fits with the sketchy information which I have been told about the family.  

Have been searching for the link to Charlotte for ages I never thought that her Mother and Father hadn't been married but that explains now why her first child was born when she was unmarried

Marriage Ecclesfield 1806   (reply) Posted by: Dave Thorpe
Date Posted: August 30th, 2010, 9:01am
Thank you. That is my ancestor, and Matthew Oates did die in the early 1800s (he was definitely dead by 1813). I have been unable to trace what happened to Hannah (Anne) Oates nee Addey after that and assume she would have re-married (she had 2 sons born 1800 and 1802). I know what happened to Hannah Oates and William Revitt after they married and am trying to find evidence that this Hannah Oates was the right one. If she was a spinster at that marriage I can rule her out. If she was a widow then There is a good bet she was mine. I am hoping someone has access to the parish record and can enlightewn me

There is this:

ANNE ADDEY - International Genealogical Index / BI
Gender: Female Marriage: 04 JUN 1799 Bradfield, Yorkshire, England
Groom: Mathew Oates

I've seen confusions before involving Hannah's, Anne's, Anna's and even Ann's.

FamilySearch does not return a Mathew Oates death anytime between 1800 and 1805, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.  Maybe the the Sheffield Death Index does, and maybe somebody here who has it can jump in on that.

If the above "Anne Addey" is yours, and if spouse Mathew Oates died prior to 1806, then it would appear that Anne/Hannah was a widow when she married Wm Revett.
