Year: 1890s
The Taylors of Well Street
My father was Arthur Marsden Taylor born in Elton 1896, he had two brothers William (1900) and Benjamin Aaron (1890), their mother was Sarah Ann Taylor (no father named), and her mother I believe Elizabeth Taylor, daughter of Robert Taylor (b Brassington 1823) and Martha Staley (b Elton 1821). Martha's mother was Elizabeth Staley and her brother was Benjamin. I know that Aaron senior, son of Robert, went to live in Moor Lane with wife, another Sarah Ann and baby Mary Ellen, he was a lead miner. I don't know if my father went to Elton school or not as I always thought he lived in Youlgreave. He went into the Great War before he was 18, he joined the Nottingham and Derbyshire Regiment (Sherwood Foresters) but didn't marry Annie Elizabeth Mather of Kniveton until Dec 1931. I don't know what happened to him in between. I am fascinated by the Taylor family and recently visited Elton to see where they lived. I hope to come back soon with one of my sisters.

 Youlgrave, the Church c1955 (ref: Y14023) |
Year: 2007
visiting Youlgrave
My husband and I visited Youlgrave earlier this year as i am researching my family history and my 3 x g. grandma and grandad were married in this church. Her name was Martha Staley and his name was Joseph Goodall and they married in 1846. It is a beautiful church and village, and we hope to visit again. As we walked into the church there was an old lady doing some cleaning there, and we told her of our quest. She was most helpful as she had lived there all of her life, and she told us of a Francis Staley who had left some land to the church when he died. Also the graveyard was full of Staleys, probably all related. The old lady lived just accross from the church, and invited us into her home for a cup of coffee! She had a very old white poodle, which i think was called Sparky, and she told us lots of things. The house used to belong to her Mother and Father, but now it was hers, and it dated from the 1600's. The walls were very thick, and it was much the same as when it was built, i would imagine. I have since found Josephs grave near where i live, at Thorpe Hesley Church in Rotherham, as they came to live over here around 1853, but as yet i have not found Marthas. But i have wonderful memories of visiting Youlgrave that day. Posted: 24/12/2007 14:19 by Elaine Platts |

Year: 1970
Beautiful memories
Dear people of Youlgreave, In the summer of 1970 we visited Youlgreave. We were there on a holiday and we had a magnificent time up there. We stayed at the house of grandma and dad from my friend Chris Sol, who was born in Youlgreave. His sister Cathrin and her friend were also there. The name of the grandparents was Oldfield. I am still living in Holland, I am married and we have three children. We live in a place called Hoofddorp, that's about 15 miles from Amsterdam. It was my first holiday and I will never forget it. Within a few years we will visit Youlgreave again, but then as a granddad and ma. We have three grandchildren Hope to see you in 2007 or 2008. P.S. There was a girl in 1970, which I met. Her name was Patricia Smith. How is she doing at the moment. I hope she is still alive. Kindly regards, Arend Hoegen Burg. van Stamplein 94 2132 BH Hoofddorp Last edited: 30/09/2006 21:34 by Arend Hoegen |

Passing through
Matlock is a very pretty place, I remember stopping off at Matlock on our way to Nottingham when I was 8 years old. I remember so well how pretty the place was, the dales, hill sides the scenery, just beautiful. Last edited: 14/04/2008 12:30 by Brenda Vanderwert |
