I would think that's certainly what it means. You have done really well to find this out! Is there anything on the census reports re. a disability?

Thanks i might have to go to the main library in Sheffield

Have you located his death? Might at least narrow it down a bit. From what you say I am assuming there is no date of any kind on that pension record.
Jan

He died in Sheffield 1939,there were no dates on his pension card

Oh Jan silly me thats what it reads on the 1901 Brewers Labourer!!!!

Heh heh.

Hi if he lost his arm it must have happened after 1914 and before 1939,on his daughters wedding certificate Emily clarkson and david gash who married 1914 he was a carter,on his sons birth certificate dennis david clarkson he was a brewery drayman. what is a carter?thanks Janette.

Carrier of goods by wagon

Thanks so that could be the same as a brewery drayman .

Yes, it certainly could. To sort out any more details I suspect you might have to look at newspapers as there doesn't seem to be anything else left.
Jan

I wonder if there are any records kept by Sheffield archives (John St) I would have thought so

Heres a list of brewers around that period

Hi brummiejan i have had a look at the occupation web site you gave me thanks i will keep it for future referance.Hi Ginny thanks for the names of the brewers i will look them up thanks Janette.

Hi Janette,
I have a copy of a booklet called 'Bygone Breweries of Sheffield'. It lists the following breweries in the Bamforth Street / High House area:

Samuel Berry - Crown Brewery - Langsett Road

J L Cockayne & Sons - Owlerton Brewery - Capel Street / Penistone Road

H W Dearden - High House Brewery - 547 Penistone Road - this brewery stool on the land between Bamforth Street and Burton Street just below the Mission. I think the building is still there and you can still see the (now shortened) brewery chimney stack.

James Haynes & Co - Crown Brewery - Langsett Road - this building was still there until recently. Just before you got to Kelvin on the way into Sheffield.

Given where they lived, i would guess that he worked for either High House or Owlerton but I'm not sure.

Rgds,
Ron.

Hi Ron thankyou for your message,my great grand father Lewis lived at 82 bamforth street for a while and that was opposite the Mission.he also lived at high house as well, so you might be right he might have worked for one of them,do you know how i go about finding information of names that worked at these breweries thanks Janette
