Tom Oliver

Hi,
      I was born in Jump in 1931 and moved to Bradford with my parents Geeorge and Mary ann Oliver in the early 40s, My Grandad was Willie (Bill) Cusworth and had 4 sisters living in the area, Edith was married to John Ibbotson (greengrocer), Gert was married to David Clifton, my parents lived on Church st behind the "Coach and Horses" and my grandad lived on "Jump top" not far from "The Flying Dutchman" I am living now in Alberta Canada and would love to find some of my relatives or someone who remembers Tom Oliver (me)

 

Shauna Gooch Foliaki:


Hi there. I love the site! I am from the US and was just in Barnsley in March. My relatives come from there (William Edmond Gooch/Ann Birkinshaw). I was able to meet Peter and Margret Stratford who still have a connection to Hill Top Farm and graciously show me around there as well as where Gawber Hall used to stand. Peter also gave me a piece of "Gawber Glass" which I shall always treasure. I am still searching out my family lines and am focusing on the Gooch line at the moment. I have hit a dead end and would love some help.Thomas Gooch (1732-180) is the first of the family I see that came up from Tasburgh Norwich and married Elizabeth Belton from Wakefield in 1769. His son John (1773-1853) married Ann Ellison (1772-1840) from Drax Yorkshire in 1802. Their son William Edmond married Ann Birkinshaw and brought all of his family to the US except John William and Joseph. So. . .I am looking for anyone who has more information on the Gooch line. I would be very sad if that line died out in England. It is flourishing here. I loved Barnsley. I am sure my ancestors pined for it often. Thank you

Steve :
Hello -- I'm trying to contact a Mr John Murray who posted on your site about Dearne Valley Tramway which ran through Wombwell ----- my father would have liked this site, sadly he passed away two years ago he came from the village of Jump named after the fact that you had to jump over a stream dividing Elsecar from Jump as a lad he qualified for Barnsley Grammar School so he had to walk at the age of eleven to Elsecar or Wombwell rail way station to get to Barnsley in all weathers, then walk from the station up to the Grammar School do a day's schooling and come home because he came from a small village and was not very well off he was bullied and he hated every minute of it but he ended up as the senior treasurer of the Trent Regional Health Authority and one of the First people in this country to programme a computer for wage pay rolling the computer it's self was based in Chapeltown Sheffield at Newton Chambers I remember seeing it in the 1960's in a room twenty foot square with flashing lights and a paper tape punch out it took hours to do what you could do on your home computer today. Because Jump was such a small village when there was a mining disaster close by the dead from Jump were buried in Wombwell because Jump had a church but no cemetery. -- Any reply welcome.

SEARCHING FOR WINNIE WHALLEY

 

Hi,

I'm trying to trace information on a Winnie Whalley - when clearing out my grandma's house we found twenty or so letters from Winnie to my  grandma between 1938 and 1942. I am putting together a half hour radio documentary on these letters so am trying to find out  as much as I can about her and thought that this may be of interest to you,

Thanks,
Dan Hodgson.

Searching for the BOTWRIGHT FAMILY.

 

Geoff Kerr-Morgan:
I came across this excellent site whilst doing an engine search for the name BOTWRIGHT. My Gran Candace Botwright from Seaham in County Durham married and became a Kerr-Morgan. My Grans parents originated in Norfolk/Suffolk and there were about 11 children at least one of who moved to Barnsley. another Zach emigrated to the USA around 1902. I would be grateful if any Botwrights reading this believe they may be related, please email me on
