Hi Tina,

17 Gregory Road, Sheffield.
Alfred Cowham, D.O.B. 11 Dec 1893, table blade hardener, married.
Amelia Cowham (Wragg), D.O.B. 9 May 1898, umbrella fork bender, married.
Alfred Cowham, D.O.B. 17 Aug 1916, general labourer, single.
Elsie Cowham (Maynard), D.O.B. 24 Nov 1919, blade examiner, single.
Two records officially closed.

Marriage registration, Q2 1916, Amelia Styring to Alfred Cowen.
Marriage registration, Q1 1965, Amelia Cowen to George Wragg.

School Admissions - Heeley Bank Infants School.
1901, Amelia Styring, born 9 May 1898. Parent - Ellis Styring, knife
hafter of 71 Heeley Green. At a later date, another address has been
added - 19 Fitzroy St.
At some point they must have moved area. Amelia was re-admitted to
the school in 1910 and the family address was 209 Alexandra Road.

1911 census - 209 Alexandra Road, Heeley, Sheffield.
Ellis Styring, head, 44yrs, table knife hafter.
Amelia Styring, wife, 44yrs.
George Henry Styring, son, 20yrs, forger.
Emma Styring, dau, 19yrs, stay back maker.
Florance Styring, dau, 14yrs.
Amelia Styring, dau, 12yrs.
Lily Styring, dau, 11yrs.
James Lesley Styring, dau, 9yrs.
Nellie Styring, dau, 3yrs.

On the 1901 census, the family are at 71 Heeley Green, Sheffield.

If you look under the burials on this site, you will find Ellis and
Amelia. Both are buried in City Road Cemetery. With them is
Ada Cowhen, housewife, aged 48yrs.
It's possible other burials were added to this plot at a later date.
