Looking for help on an address in Pitsmoor , Sheffield
« on: Saturday 31 December 16 14:25 GMT (UK) »
We have a marriage cert from 1951 with an address od 203 Abbeyfield road, Pitsmoor Sheffield. I have looked on the street view and there doesnt appear to be a 203. I have looked on the 1939 census to see who lived there then, but again no number 203. Does anyone know if this house ever existed.

Thankyou
Moira

Hi,

There is a company Jamboree Arts Ltd registered at 203 Abbeyfield Rd, Sheffield S4 7AW.

Perhaps the record is closed for the person living at 203 Abbeyfield Road in 1939 and therefore a black line through that record.

I have checked 1911 census and it would seem to be a large family home then.

Perhaps it became a lodging house or rooms for let.

I checked the OS map and there is definitely still a 203 Abbeyfield Road, Pitsmoor.

Here it is on streetview (blue door) , zoom in and you can see the 203 on the door. http://www.rootschat.com/links/01j6a/
