Hi LL. I am amazed at how many come from in and around York. What a great thread you have put up. I have just discovered my mothers cousin on Genes. The family waffle he told me was amazing!! He made the McKegg family in Walmgate sound like the mafia of York in the late 1800`s to the middle 1900`s. I met him for the first time today and was fasinated by what he had to tell me. Vanessa |

Hi Linda Sheffield has changed big time - don't know whether to say better or worse! lol Don't go to town much as I prefer Meadowhall to be honest - only go into town for a drink. I'm Sheffield born and bred and still there - moved around a bit and now live closer to Barnsley than Sheffield town centre, originally from Hillsbrough and do miss living there as it was so central for everything Joanne |

Just thought I would nudge this up with a little more info about me and the rellies... As I said before I was born in Horbury, Nr. Wakefield... My rellies originally came from Pontefract area, Womersley, Knottingley, Whitley Bridge, Criddling Stubbs... and then one of them settled in Alverthorpe in Wakefield. They must have moved between 1909 and 1918 to Ossett where one of my uncles was born, so I have to wait for the 1911 census to come out before I can get that information. My father was living in Pickersgill Street in Ossett when he met and married my mother and they lived in Prospect Street in Horbury for the first few years... that house is still there..I was born there. Between 1946 and 1950 they moved to 'The Avenues' in Horbury. My two main ancestral lines are FRANCE and WALMSLEY... Anne :))) |

Hi LL I was born and raised just north of Wakefield. Nice to see there's more Wakey folk on this site. I've lived in Oz for 24 years now but will always be a Yorkshire lass at heart. I've still got the accent too. Lesley :-) |
