Pollez Coop
Hi! This is not so much a memory as a request for more information. I'm using Ancestry UK to try to track down my relatives. My mother [Vera Jackson (nee Fox)] was born in Bawtry in 1903. She died in 1995. Her adoptive parents (Fox) worked at Bawtry Hall. Her birth register shows her as Vera Coop and I've found a Pollez Coop (born about 1877) who was born in Mexborough. She's shown in the 1891 Census record as a domestic servant at 73/75 'St Sepulstra Street' (can't read this street name clearly!) If anyone has any information about this family or the street I would be very glad to hear it. I was born in Bradford in 1941 and my mother died there aged 92. My wife and I moved to Cyprus in 1997.
Schofield College, Mexbrough
I also am related to the Schofield family, my father George Schofield was the flower boy that opened Schofield College. My father's grandad was the person the college was named after, he was mayor at that time, so probably contributed a lot to the community. I have a few photos of the college and my mum Audrey loves to tell a good tale about her visits to Mexborough.
Childhood
My memories of Mexborough are of living at York Street and playing in the 'backs' with Ann Sandford, Peter Sandford, Mary Sandford, Pat Sandford, Ian Gamble, Janet Owen, Christine Waller (Bebe), Pamela Foster, Rita Barker, Janet Barker. (Where are they now?).
Living in Mexborough
I moved to Mexborough in 1953 when I was 3 years old. I lived in Melton Street where I believe the houses were originally the stables for Mexborough Manor. I lived there until 1966 when I moved to the Windhill estate. The 'Schofield' Technical College was named after one of my relatives on my mum's (Thelma Schofield) side.
Could anyone give me any info about the Manor at Mexborough?
South Yorkshire memories
Village Kid
I grew up in old Denaby with my 2 older brothers. My mum had lived there from birth and still does to this day. In those days it was a real village community, unfortunately this has disapeared over the years, it is now a place for people with too much cash, the spirit has left the place. I spent many happy hours up the wood or the playing field, football was the order of the day on Sunday afternoon. Acorn fights were the event of choice in the woods as well as games of hiddy (hide 'n seek).
Childhood in Old Denaby
I can remember most of what you are saying, I had some great times as a child living in Old Denaby. I wonder what happened to all the people in the years that have passed.
