Re: Rodney Farm Loxley

June 20 1896 advertisements Sheffield Daily Telegraph:
Wanted, a girl, about 17. – Apply Mrs Schofield, Rodney Farm, Loxley.

June 27 1896
Wanted a Youth, able to milk. – Apply A.E. Schofield, Rodney Farm, Loxley, near Sheffield.

Some other Rodney Farm staff advertising later in the year, but no contact name attached.

Mrs Schofield, Rodney Farm, Loxley, near Sheffield, was seeking a General Servant, about 18, in December 1896.

Albert Edw Schofield, farmer, 37; wife Ruth, 37; and 4 children are at Rodney Farm in the 1901 census.
They were at 21 Ellenboro Road, Hillsborough (blacksmith) in 1911.

Re: Rodney Farm Loxley


In October 1903 “live and dead farming stock” was advertised “the property of Mr Albert E Schofield, who is giving up farming.” "Rodney Farm, Loxley" was the heading.

Re: Rodney Farm Loxley

So it's possible Thomas Hague purchased it around 1903. Thanks for updates

Re: Rodney Farm Loxley

Just to clarify, it was Schofield's livestock and equipment that was for sale. Not the property.

"wondering if Rodney Farm was a Hague farm"
You have seen this about Ethel nee Hague, originally from Rodney Farm, Loxley.
