Victorian Connections? plus New Brancepeth v Sherburn
I thought that I would go back to Victorian times and try and trace a few familiar names that matched the surnames of some pupils from my school days, as follows:
15 Ladysmith - Thomas Wilson wife Catherine and sons John and Richard
15 Temperance Terrace – Henry Forster wife Margaret and daughters Hannah and Isabella
20 --------do---------– James Stoddart and wife Frances
25 -------do------- --- John Myers wife Sarah and dtr Jane
3 East Terrace Thomas Stoddart wife Isabel and dtr Ethel
7 George Street Richard Brunskill wife Jane and dtrs Hilda, Hannah, Dora and son Richard
10 Albert Street John Brunskill wife Rachael and dtrs Candais, Jane and Hannah
20 William Street John Jackson wife Louisa and son Thomas
18 -----do------- Edward Jones wife Ann dtrs Elizabeth and Mary plus son John
12 West Street John Jolly brother Edward and niece Emily Wray
Of course the above Victorians might not have any connection to my old school chums – but you never know.
Cricket
Back in late June 1935 the New Brancepeth CC second XI continued their good form by beating Sherburn seconds by four wickets. E Sinclair took five wickets for 19 runs and A Marchant four wickets for 27 runs to dismiss Sherburn quite cheaply. J Ayre took at least two catches for New Brancepeth.
