The Hope Family

A Memory of Oakengates.


My Gran, Alice Hope was born in Oakengates in 1878. I have her and her family living in The Furnace Houses during the 1880's through to the end of the 1920's when her Dad died.
Her Dad was James and her Mom Jane Ellen. The children were Clara, John, known as Jack, Mary, known as Polly then my Gran Alice who moved to Birmingham to marry. Then we have Annie who they called Nance, she moved to Manchester to marry. Elizabeth came next she was called called Lizzie then Louisa called Louie and the youngest James who also moved up north to Mexborough.
I would love to know if I have any cousins still living in Oakengates or anywhere else for that matter.
