Photographic Guided Tour

Welcome to my Connolly/Connolley Heritage Trail.

Glentworth

Glentworth was the birthplace of Albert Bradshaw. He was born on the 3rd of June 1893

Barrow Hill

Barrow Hill

Considerably less rural and pretty, but no different probably, in terms of hard lives and poverty for the people who lived there. William and Martha Hall, along with Martha's mother Elizabeth Chapman, raised their family here, including Samuel, born 26th January 1887.

Scarsdale Hospital

The hospital was known in the 19th century as The Union Workhouse. Among the unfortunate Irish born residents who died here are Peter Lavender (1864) and Patrick Connolly (1875). Currently, my feeling is that the Peter Lavender in question is probably John's father and Alice's grandfather, but that Michael and Stephen's father was not the Patrick who died here, but I could be wrong on both matters. In its later incarnation this building was the birthplace of our Greg and Jonny. It is now derelict and a pretty sad sight.

Church of the Annunciation

The Church of the Annunciation

Situated in Spencer Street this is Chesterfield's Catholic Church and the source of so much information on family births, deaths and marriages.
