Hi all,
I am trying hard (have been for years now) to discover what happened to Dad's family in Hull and why he was put in Linneaus Street Children's Home along with his brother when his Mum died at 32 in 1923. I live in Harrogate, but with my eldest daughter, I have now driven to Hull many times and tried to visualise what their life was like and from what we've learned so far, pretty tough. I am listing here some names of Dad's family that I've found and some of the places in Hull the records show they lived. If anyone, has knowledge of what these places were like or better still, knows of the Sissons family, we'd be very grateful to hear from you. Dad, was killed just after my fourteenth birthday and he never spoke about his family or childhood, so we are, bit by bit, trying to piece it together.
Sissons family: Samuel 1869-1937,Mary Jane Olsen (formerly Thackray) Lived with Samuel however, both legally married to different people throughout, Samuel to Rose Lee 1874-unconfirmed, Mary Jane to Charles Wm.Olsen 1887-1931, Florence Elizabeth Sissons(Married Luben Broughton) 1895-1959, Maud 1896-1906, Rose Ellen 1899-unconfirmed, Samuel Jnr. 1903-unconfirmed. Edna May 1906-unconfirmed. John Joseph (My Dad) 1915-1967, James William 1917-1981
