Eileen Keatley / Snelgrove

This is a photo of Eileen Keatley taken in 1934 when Eileen was 14.

Eileen Keatley's daughter, Vita is searching for the Keatley family who adopted her mother in 1923 when she was 3 years old. It is possible that Eileen was known by her biological family name of Snelgrove.

Vita knows that her mother's adopted family lived in Totley and has found a Keatley family, Cecil and Jessie, on the 1911 census living in Brook Vale Cottage, Back Lane, Totley Rise. She is not sure whether this is the Keatley family she is looking for.

New paragraph

Eileen is third from the right on the back row. Is the boy on the front row the same boy as in the paddling photo above?

Eileen had a happy childhood and remembered her adopted family with affection. Vita would very much like to make contact with the family.

Update

Research done by a member of Totley History Group, and passed on to the enquirer produced the following information.

Keatley is quite a rare surname: in the 1881 census there were only 237 Keatleys in the whole of England & Wales, 140 of whom were in the West Midlands. There were just two Keatleys in Yorkshire, both in Pontefract, and one in Derbyshire (Shardlow).
The 1911 census for Totley Rise shows a Keatley family living in Brookvale Cottage in Back Lane. Cecil Ezekiel Keatley was aged 39 (so born circa 1872), a house painter who was born in Sutton Coldfield. His wife Sarah Ann was aged 38 (bc. 1873) and was born in Sheffield. They had two children, Jessie aged 7 (bc. 1904) and Cecil Frederick aged 5 (bc. 1906).
A marriage was found for Cecil E Keatley and Sarah Ann Bishop which took place in Sheffield in 1899.
Dore Christ Church burials record three deaths:

Jessie Keatley, of Victoria Road, Totley Rise, aged 17, buried on 25 Jul 1921 (bc. 1904)
Cecil Ezekiel Keatley, of 8 Main Avenue, aged 63, buried 2 Feb 1935 (bc. 1872)
Sarah Ann Keatley, of Totley, aged 78, buried 22 Feb 1952 (bc. 1874)

Cecil Frederick Keatley fought with the Royal Engineers in World War II and became a prisoner of war. After his repatriation he married Ethel M. Reynolds in Sheffield in 1946. There was only one child of the marriage as far as can be seen: Sylvia Keatley was born in 1947 and died unmarried in 2001. Sadly it appears that there are no living descendants of this family.
Joan Stratford's book on the history of Totley All Saints School mentions on page 34 that in 1916 Jessie Keatley gained a foundation scholarship tenable for 4 years.
