The Appleyard Sheffield connection began sometime between 1891 and 1901. In 1891\u00a0Arthur Appleyard and his family<\/span> were living at Austhorpe Hall but the 1901 census\u00a0 records them\u00a0 living at 16 Manvers Road in Sheffield.<\/p>\n

The eldest son, Frank<\/a> aged 15,\u00a0 is recorded as being a “Mechanical Engineer’s Apprentice”.\u00a0 The\u00a0 second son Stanley just turned 13 (he was born in March 1888) has no occupation. 52 and a half years later, to the day, he received a Rolex watch inscribed:-<\/p>\n

“Presented to Mr Stanley Appleyard by\u00a0 his friends and colleagues at the Sheffield and Scunthorpe works\u00a0 and at the London and Regional offices of Firth-Brown Ltd on his retirement after 52 1\/2 years service with the\u00a0 John Brown Group as a mark of esteem and regard September 30th 1953”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

One can surmise that Stanley started work on the 1st April 1901 one day after the 1901 census.<\/p>\n

A 1902 directory does not show any occupant at 16 Manvers Road.<\/p>\n

A 1906 directory records Mary Ellen<\/a> Appleyard living at 27 Berkley Road<\/p>\n

Arthur died on 6th July 1907. Probate shows his address was still 16 Manvers Road at the time.\u00a0 However there are two other addresses for his widow Mary Ellen.<\/p>\n

A 1910\u00a0directory records two entries for\u00a0 Mary Ellen<\/a> Appleyard: both\u00a0 27 Berkley Road and 54 Vainor Road<\/p>\n

The 1911 census confirms the family,\u00a0the widow Mary Ellen<\/a>, Frank<\/a> (aged 25), Margaret (21) and “Marina” (19), were now living at 54 Vainor Road in Sheffield.\u00a0<\/span> All 3 children are still single. Interestingly Stanley appears (as Sturley) but the entry is crossed out. Stanley was at the\u00a0 time a lodger in London. Clearly though he was still living at Vainor Road some of the time.<\/p>\n
