Money Family

This photograph shows the Money family in the 1920’s ( I think), what the family gathering was for I do not know but it shows all the Money’s, (from Left toright): Edward Isaac (Ted), Margaret (Meg), Violet (Vi), Ivy, John (Jack),  Louisa (Lou), William (Will),  Florence (Flo), James Verrill (Jim born before marriage), Mary, William Tyers, (father) Mary Ann,(mother) known as Polly, Sarah (Sal).

William Money came to the Loftus area from Barrowby in Lincolshire between 1871 and 1881 with his wife Mary and his sons,  William Tyers aged 20, John Henry 15 and Edward 13 (taken from the 1881 census).  They came here for the work in the ironstone mines and before their arrival there were no other Money’s in this area that I can find (please correct me if you know better).  Edward moved to Bishop Auckland (1891 census) and John Henry emigrated to Australia married and had a family there.  So most people named Money in this area came from someone in the above photograph.

I have been checking my file and it shows that William  Money and Mary Ann Verrill (yes a Verrill from Staithes) were married in 1887 so I think the photograph would be on the anniversary of their 40th wedding anniversary in 1927.  Can you believe that in 1911 (as shown on the 1911 census)that  William, Mary Ann  and 10 of their children were all living in 28 St Hilda’s Terrace Loftus, how did they manage?  I bet they were glad when their children got married and they had the house to themselves to live out their retirement in. How about this for a guess?  Picture taken outside 34 Hartington Street!  Could be Norman there or St Hilda’s Terrace. Adam Cuthbert commented: “In this photograph is my great gran Ivy Grey (Money), when she got married to Jack Grey they bought a house at top of High Row (Bank top) Loftus and lived there for all their lives. I’ve never seen this photograph before so had to check with my Mother that I was on the right horse. I knew she lived in a busy house when she was younger. What a lovely lady she was. Would do anything to help anyone”.

St. Margaret’s Church Hall Fancy Dress (1954 – 55)

A good turn out for this children’s fancy dress held it is believed in the original St Margaret’s church hall to the rear of the church on the High Street in Brotton. Jean Sayers is the little girl in the front with the kettle (Polly put the kettle on!). Can anybody advise on names?

Reg Dunning says ”Fifth from the left at the back is Sheila Bennison and the nurse on the back row is Hilary Jackson”.

Bassendale Group, including Mrs Hoggarth

The Bassendale group was so-called following the inclusion of this copied image from a display in Carlin How in 1983 by Derick Pearson. Derick entitled the image to identify in the collection of some 600+ images he copied for the display. Cynthia White advised: “The lady seated on the front right is my mam; Mrs Harriet Ann Templeman of North Skelton. The lady seated front left is my aunt, Mrs Olive Templeman of North Skelton; the lady seated next to Ivy is Dora Kirk”.

Back row: ??, Mrs Hoggarth, ??, ??, Mr Jack Hyde, ??.

Front row: Mrs Olive Templeman, Mrs Ivy Bassendale (Carlin How Post Office), Mrs Dora Kirk?, Mrs Harriet Ann Templeman, Mrs Hyde.

Alan Tyreman at rear of Wesley Terrace (1943)

The image shows the border fence with Skinningrove Iron and Steel Works with the terminus of the aerial rope-way, (locally known as ’the buckets’ in the background), this rope-way brought ironstone into the works from Skinningrove mine.  The bungalow roof on the right hand side is the top gatehouse or the planner’s building (1960’s terminology).  Alan is pictured with possibly Isabell Tyreman and another youngster. We are told that Alan’s father kept various livestock in this area at the rear of Wesley Terrace, ducks can be seen in the foreground of this image.
