Life story

Life story

John William Sudbury was born in 1858 in Sheffield Yorkshire to James Walter and Jane Sudbury.  James Walter worked as a Station Master at Park Station in Sheffield Yorkshire.   John William may not have been happy at home as on the 1st August 1870 aged just 12 years old, he ran away from home and was missing for a month.  He was found and by 1871 was sent to Low Ash Boarding School in Bradfield, Yorkshire. 

"Low Ash Farm - High up on the hilltop overlooking the Loxley Valley, this farm was once a boarding school for young gentleman. the school was established by a Mr Linley in 1850 and continued for 30 years until his death in 1879. The 1861 census, records that John and Betsy Lindley, both 51 years of age, lived there with 4 daughters and 46 young gentleman boarders. Originally, there were two separate buildings but, in this century a cottage was built joining the two buildings together. A feature inside the house is an old winding staircase leading to where the young gentlemen slept." 

On the 6th September 1880 John William  married Eliza Wardle (Daughter of John Wardle, Gentleman) at the parish church in Huddersfield, York. They lived at Greenway Road, Runcorn, Cheshire in 1881 and John William worked as a Bank cashier. They did not have any children.
