Convent Lane takes its name from the Roman Catholic Convent and School of the Sisters of Mercy, the first convent in Hull, which was established here in 1857. The old buildings on Convent Lane were severely damaged by bombing during World War Two and finally demolished in 1954.

Ann Salter Sawyer (b. 1825), eldest daughter of William Arthur Sawyer and Ann Smith, married Thomas Lawrence, in Bermondsey, London in the first quarter of 1853. That marriage did not produce any children. There is no information to tell us where Thomas Lawrence was from, or when he was born, so it's been impossible to find his birth or baptism and, without those clues, likewise, it hasn't been possible to find any relevant death. Nevertheless, it was Ann Salter Lawrence who married George Peck Holland in the first quarter of 1856, in Sculcoates.

George Holland was baptised in Spratton, Northamptonshire on 22 Sep 1829, son of George Peck Holland and his wife Mary. In 1851, George Holland (23) was living in Wood Street, St Sepulchre, Northampton in the household of Elizabeth Robinson (58) Widow from Haddon, Northamptonshire, described as her nephew.

The marriage between George Peck Holland and Ann Salter Lawrence took place on 7 Feb 1856 at All Saints Church, Sculcoates. George was 28 and Ann, who was 31, gave her age as 26. Both gave their residence at the time as Sykes Street, Hull. George Peck Holland listed his father as George Peck Holland, but Ann's father was listed - or the assumption was allowed to go unchallenged - as William Arthur Lawrence. Was she a widow? It looks like she was pretending to be single.

George and Ann had one child, a daughter:

1. Henrietta Ann Holland b. 1859 J Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 145, who died, aged 1, in 1860 D Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 109. She was buried at All Saints Church, Sculcoates, on 8 Nov 1860.

In 1861, George Holland (33) Boot maker from Northampton, Northamptonshire was living at 5, Kings Square, Sculcoates with Ann S Holland (33ish), William Rowntree (59) Coal dealer, widower, boarder and Ann Sawyer (50) - this is an underestimate: she was 60 - widow, boarder - Ann Salter Holland's mother.

In 1871, George Holland (42) from Northamptonshire and Ann Holland (43ish) from Norfolk, were living in Mill Lane, Holy Trinity, Hull.

In 1881, George Holland (53) Boot Maker and Ann Holland (52ish) were living in the same place, 5, Mill Lane, Kingston upon Hull Holy Trinity.

In 1891, George Holland (63) Shoemaker and Ann Holland (63ish) were living in Convent Lane, Holy Trinity and St Mary, Hull. Living with them that year were Ann's two surviving sisters: Jane Sawyer (58) Single, Living on own means and Margaret Wall (50) Retired School Mistress, Widow.

George Peck Holland died, aged 71, in 1899 J Qtr in HULL Vol 09D Page 180.

In 1901, Ann Salter Holland (75) widow, was living alone at 5, Convent Lane, Holy Trinity, Hull and died, aged 76, in 1901 S Qtr in HULL Vol 09D Page 229.

Albert Beetham (b. 25 Mar 1907), son of Joseph William Beetham and Clara Alice Stephenson, married Harriet Elizabeth Tummon (b. 28 Jan 1911), daughter of George Tummon and Fanny Elwick, when she was 17, in Hull, in 1928. 

Albert and Harriet appear to have had seven or eight children:

1. Ivy E Beetham b. 1929 Q3 in Sculcoates
2. Irene Beetham b. 1933 Q4 in Hull
3. Clarice Beetham b. 1934 Q4 in Sculcoates, died in the same quarter.
4. Doreen Beetham b. 1935 Q4 in Hull
5. Albert Beetham b. 22 Nov 1936 (registered 1937 Q1) in Hull
6. Bertha Beetham b. 1939 Q1 in Hull
7. Iris Beetham b. 1947 Q3 in Hull

Additionally, there was a death of an infant Albert Beetham who was born and died in 1932, who may well have also been the child of this couple, however the birth record is not available to confirm the mother's maiden name.

In 1939, living at 11 Merrick Street, Kingston Upon Hull (the street no longer has housing) were Albert Beetham, Timber Porter and his wife listed as Elizabeth Beetham, then three closed records that would correspond to Ivy E, Irene and Doreen, then Albert Beetham and a further closed record (Bertha).

Albert Beetham died, aged 65, in 1972 in Holderness.

Harriet Elizabeth Beetham died, aged 81, in November 1992, in Hull.

Another of Hull's lost streets - done away with in 1901 - Hull Daily Mail tells us that, "Broadley Street ran from Parliament Street, past Burlington Tavern, across the top of Manor Street and up to Leadenhall Square. The street was full of warehouses, sailmakers and wine, spirit and tobacco stores." 

In 1881, at 122, Chiltern Street, Newington, Sculcoates, were William Tummon (42) General Labourer, Elizabeth Tummon (40), Jane E Tummon (18) Domestic Servant Unemployed, Frederick H Tummon (14), Margaret Tummon (8), Tom Tummon (5), Sophia Tummon (3), George Tummon (1) and Ada Tummon (0).

William Smith and Ivy Tummon

Ivy Tummon (b. 17 Oct 1904), daughter of Tom Tummon and Bertha Ainsworth, first cousin of Fanny Tummon, married William Smith (b. 27 Nov 1900) in Sculcoates, in 1923. William Smith's mother's maiden name was ... wait for it ... Smith! Whether William was born illegitimately, whether his parents were cousins, or whether this is just a coincidence, it's near impossible to discover. 

William and Ivy may have had several children, of those I believe belong:

1. Ivy Smith b. 1924 Q1 in Sculcoates (Vol 9D Page 389)
2. William Smith b. 1929 Q1 in Sculcoates (Vol 9D Page 348), died in the same quarter of 1929 (Vol 9D Page 352)
3. William T Smith b. 1931 Q2 in Sculcoates (Vol 9D Page 361)

In 1939, William Smith, General Labourer and Ivy Smith were living at 204 Welwyn Park Avenue, Kingston Upon Hull. There are then four currently closed records in the household, which could potentially relate to children. Two of these could be Ivy and William T, but I cannot identify further children that would fit, unless some of those that I've attributed to Clarence and Fanny Smith, actually belong to this couple. Equally, these or the closed entries in that other household could relate to visiting kids from elsewhere in the family, lodgers, or anyone.

It hasn't been possible to identify William or Ivy's deaths.

Clarence Smith and Fanny Tummon

Fanny Tummon (b. 25 Jan 1907), daughter of George Tummon and Fanny Elwick, married at 16 to Clarence Smith, in Hull in 1923. Sadly, there are more than a few people, around the right age, called Clarence Smith to be certain which.

Potentially Clarence and Fanny had eight children:

1. Gladys Smith b. 15 Jun 1924 in Sculcoates (Vol: 9d Page: 226)
2. George Smith b. 1925 in Hull (Vol: 9d Page: 439) 
3. Irene Smith b. 1928 in Hull (Vol: 9d Page: 437) 
4. Clarence Smith b. 6 Apr 1930 in Hull (Vol: 9d Page: 452) 
5. Dorothy Irene Smith b. 1932 in Hull (Vol: 9d Page: 447) 
6. Ethel Smith b. 1934 Sculcoates (Vol: 9d Page: 154)
7. James Smith b. 11 Jun 1936 (Vol 9D Page 171) 
8. Mary E Smith b. 1938 in Hull (Vol: 9d Page: 289) 

In 1939, listed as Frances (Fanny) Smith, was living at 105 York Road, Hull, with eight other people, whom I assume were her children and included Gladys Smith, Glove machinist; two closed entries who I assume are George and Irene; Clarence Smith, At School; then two further closed records, who could be Dorothy and Ethel; James Smith, Under School Age and finally another closed record, which would fit Mary. Although Fanny is listed as married, Clarence is not listed in the household, so there are no further clues to his age, etc., to narrow him down.

Obviously, there are numerous assumptions here, but the GRO records for this time don't currently confirm the mother's maiden name and it wouldn't help anyway, as Fanny's first cousin, Ivy Tummon (daughter of Fanny's father, George Tummon's elder brother, Tom) had married a William Smith in the same year 1923, so separating the children to the right couples has been mostly guesswork.

Frances Smith, but of the right birth date, died, aged 76, in Hull in 1983.

Without knowing more about Clarence, I cannot identify his death.

Witnesses to this marriage were George Ashton and Ann Carter. 

Jonathan had five more children with Jane:

5. James Henry Redmore b. 1859 D Qtr in SCULCOATES Vol 09D Page 147

9. Walter Redmore b. 1873 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Vol 09D Page 167

On these five registrations, the mother's maiden name is FELL.

In 1861, living at 13 Cobden Place, Sculcoates, were Jonathan Redmore (38) Cooper; Jane Redmore (30), Eliza Redmore (14), Eleanor Redmore (7), Ann Redmore (4) and James Redmore (1).

In 1871, living in Lockwood Street, Sculcoates were Jonathan Redmore (48) Cooper; Jane Redmore (40), James Redmore (11), Robert Redmore (8), Gertrude Redmore (5) and Arthur Redmore (3). Eliza Redmore had married in 1867; Eleanor Redmore was presumably out working and Mary J Redmore (22) and Annie Redmore (14) were living with their aunt Annie King, their father's sister.

Jonathan Wilkinson Redmore died, aged 76, on 11 Aug 1899 (1899 S Qtr Vol 09D Page 154) and was buried on 13 Aug 1899, also at All Saints, Sculcoates.

Harry Lowe Bloom and Ivy Tummon

Strickland Street, Kingston upon Hull

The Strickland Arms, a traditional corner public house that once served the fishing community.

Harry Lowe Bloom (b. 24 May 1911), married Ivy Tummon (b. 19 Jul 1916), daughter of George Tummon and Fanny Elwick, in Hull in Q4 of 1935. 

In 1921, Harry Lowell Bloom (10) was living in the household of William Finn (34) at 3, Ethel's Grove, Brighton Street, Sculcoates, listed as his Step-son. William Finn, Soldier, had married Harry's mother, Agnes Daisy Bloom, Spinster, on 6 May 1916. No mother's maiden name was listed on Harry's birth record, which confirms that he was born illegitimately. Lowe could have been his father's surname. 

Harry and Ivy appear to have five children:

1. Harry Kenneth Bloom b. 3 Jul 1936 in Sculcoates (Vol 9D Page 312)
2. Dennis Bloom b. 1938 Q4 in Hull
3. Gladys Bloom b. 1939 Q4 in Hull, died in the same quarter.
4. Lillian Bloom b. 1939 Q4 in Hull, died in the same quarter.
5. Maurice Bloom b. 1940 Q4 in Hull

Gladys and Lillian, born and died in 1939, quite clearly must have been twins.

In 1939 living at 6 Columbine Terrace, Strickland Street, Kingston Upon Hull (parallel to Wassand Street, where Ivy grew up), were Harry Bloom, General Labourer; Ivy Bloom, Harry K Bloom. A closed record would relate to Dennis. 

The family clearly must have moved to Manchester at some point. 

Both Dennis and Maurice married in Manchester, in 1968 and 1972, respectively. Ivy Bloom died, aged 60, in Manchester in 1976, Harry Lowe Bloom died, in Manchester, in 1977, he will have been 66. Harry Kenneth Bloom died, also in Manchester, at 52, in 1988. Dennis and Maurice may still be still living.
