My £6.95, 2 day, 500 credits on www.britishnewspaperarchives.com didn't cough up much for my own records, and despite my pre-prepared lists, my time ran out before my credits!

And in some cases, like the accidents or crime articles, if they were stories that got passed down! Good luck! (This one IS mine! He's a great great uncle. His brother JOSHUA STREET ran the Cliff Inn in Crich for a while) "Derby Daily Telegraph, Saturday 29 January 1927 Death of Mr A.W. Street Well known some years ago as a runner with the Burton Harriers and later prominent as a swimming teacher and official in Derby, Mr ARTHUR W. STREET died from pneumonia at his home in Norfolk Street, Derby, on Thursday night. Mr STREET who was in his 59th year, was in the chief goods manager’s office of the L.M.S. Railway. He leaves a widow and a son." I don't know anything about the Burton Harriers Running club. He was obviously a fitness bloke with running and swimming! His son was ARTHUR BAILEY STREET and the following item of news appeared 5 years after his father's death. "Derby Daily Telegraph, Wednesday 09 December 1931 Derby Student's Success B.Sc. Degree for son of well-known local athlete Mr ARTHUR BAILEY STREET of Norfolk Street, Derby, a student at Derby Technical College, has passed the recent B.Sc. general examination of the London University. Mr STREET, who is aged 22, was for five years at Derby School, where he obtained his Intermediate in Science. He is the son of the late Mr A.W. STREET, a well-known runner and swimmer, whose successes in the Midlands will be recalled by local sportsmen." -- Rose Kelland www.rosescountryrose.blogspot.com www.livesandtimesofbella.blogspot.com

Derby Daily Telegraph Friday 9 September 1921 Fireman’s Funeral A Remarkable Coincidence The funeral of MR CHARLES STREET of Midland Place, Derby, an official of the Midland Railway Fire Brigade, was marked by a strange coincidence. The cortege was attended by representatives of most of the private fire brigades of the town and as it was passing through the Corn Market on its way to Nottingham Road Cemetery the Corporation fire engine dashed down St James’s Street in answer to a call in Full Street. The funeral procession had to halt momentarily and the firemen mourners drew up by the side of the pavement for the engine to pass. This was an appropriate if unexpected tribute to the deceased, who all his life has been engaged in the task of fire fighting. The service at the graveside was conducted by the Rev H.S. GOODRICH, curate of St Andrews, the late Mr STREET having been a member of the men’s class at that church for the past 38 years. The mourners were the mother and son, Misses NELLIE and MABEL STREET, Mr and Mrs H. AMSWORTH, Mr and Mrs W. CRADDOCK, Mr and Mrs J.W. SMITH, Mr A STREET and Mrs TUNNICLIFFE, Mr J. STREET and Mrs PERRY, Mr G. STREET and Mr ADCOCK, Mr C. MATHERS, and Mrs F. LINNET. The coffin was of polished elm with brass fittings, and inscribed “CHARLES STREET at rest Sept 9th 1921 aged 56 years. Floral Tributes were received from: Mother, all children, Walter, Cissie, Alice, Edie, Nellie, Mabel; Private Fire Brigades Association; Mr and Mrs NEAVES, Supt., officers and men, C.M.E. section of the M.R.

Derby Daily Telegraph, Saturday 02 August, 1913: MASON - On the 27th July at Grimsby, JOSEPH MASON, basketmaker, formerly of this town, in his 70th year. SUTTON - On Aug 2 after a painful illness, at Ravenscourt, Burton Road, ANNIE SUTTON, widow of FRANK SUTTON, and only child of the late JACOB HOULT of Uttoxeter, New Road. STORRY – On Aug 1, suddenly at the residence of his son, 80, Osmaston Road, Derby. J.W. STORRY. Funeral Tuesday at two o’clock; first part of service at Corden Street Mission. Sudden Death whilst visiting a son. An inquest was held at the Town Hall, Derby this (Saturday) morning relative to the death of JAMES WALKER STORRY, who died very suddenly on Friday. It appeared that he was visiting his son’s house, 80, Osmaston Road, on Friday afternoon, and had only been there a little while when he was taken ill and died before a doctor arrived. He lived at 75 Madeley Street. Dr HUNT attributed the death to angina pectoris, or disease of the muscles of the heart, and the jury returned a verdict to that effect. The Late MR HASLAM M.P. Funeral arrangements at Chesterfield The funeral of the late MR JAMES HASLAM, member for Chesterfield, and general secretary of the Derbyshire Miners’ Association, will take place tomorrow Sunday. The cortege will leave the house in Clarence Road, Chesterfield at 2.30pm and the interment will be made in Chesterfield General Cemetery at three o’clock. There is certain to be a large attendance representing all classes and shades of political opinion for MR HASLAM was a man of sufficiently broad mind to possess friends in all ranks of life. It will, however, be essentially a “miners' funeral” and by the courtesy of the Mayor of Chesterfield (MAJOR W.B. ROBINSON) the pitmen will be able to meet at the Stephenson Memorial hall from noon tomorrow (Sunday). At 2.15 this part of the procession will wend its way along Saltergate to join the main body in Tennyson Avenue. In addition to numerous representatives from the Derbyshire Miners' Union – including the whole of the executive committee and trustees and delegates from the various lodges – it is expected that most of the members of the executive of the Miners’ Federation of Great Britain, together with representatives of the Trades Union Parliamentary Committee and of the Labour party, will be present. The REV W. VAUGHAN, minister at Brampton Mount Zion Primitive Methodist Chapel, will officiate at the funeral. At a special meeting of the executive of the Derbyshire Miners’ Association, held on Friday, at Chesterfield, a vote of condolence with the family of the late founder of the union was passed. Arrangements were also made for representatives to attend the obsequies. A meeting of the council of the association is to be held today (Saturday). A host of letters and telegrams of condolence have been received from all parts of the country. Among the senders may be mentioned MR RAMSAY MACDONALD, MR BOWERMAN (secretary to the Parliamentary Committee of the Trades Union Congress), MR APPLETON (Secretary to the Federation of Trades), MR R. SMILLIE (president), and MR T. ASHTON (secretary of the Miners’ Federation of Great Britain), MR W.B.M JACKSON (on behalf of the Sheepbridge Coal and Iron Company Ltd), MR G.M.

SMITH’s golden Wedding MR and MRS JOSEPH SMITH of 102 Parker Street Derby, who celebrated their golden wedding today are as happy as any pair of newlyweds. They married romantically 50 years ago at St Michael’s Church, Derby. At that time MR SMITH was a fitter at the works of the Derwent Foundry Co., and his colleagues, hearing of the wedding went straight to the church, after finishing at the Saturday dinner time, to attend the ceremony. It was one of the most popular matches in Derby, and MR and MRS SMITH have never lost their host of friends. They must be about the youngest looking couple with 50 years of married life to their credit. A Telegraph representative who called at the house today was astonished when he was received by a man who seemed barely out of his fifties. MR SMITH confessed to 69 years, but both he and his wife are a living advertisement for successful marriage. They have five married sons and eleven grandchildren. MR SMITH is well known in Derby through his 37 years association with the Derby and District Province of the R.A.O.B. (G.L.E). In 1925 he was elected Provincial Grand Primo of the Order. He has filled all the offices in the order. For many years he was a chorister and Sunday school teacher at St Michael’s church, and at present he is a sidesman. His first position in Derby was as a pupil teacher at St Alkmund’s School, but after three years there he left to become an apprentice fitter at the Derwent Foundry Co. Later he obtained a position in the fitting department of the Lancaster Carriage and Wagon Co., returning to Derby 12 years later to enter the employ of the L.M.S. in the fitting shop of the Carriage and Wagon Department. Later he was appointed a charge hand, and he retired four years ago after 30 years of service. MRS SMITH, who was born at Kentish Town 69 years ago, is the daughter of the late MR T.C. DUCAT of Arthur Street, Derby, a prominent local preacher of his day. MR and MRS SMITH are celebrating their anniversary quietly at their home. -- Rose Kelland www.rosescountryrose.blogspot.com www.livesandtimesofbella.blogspot.com

ASH dies at age of 90 Head of a family of 14 children, 13 grandchildren and seven great grandchildren, MR FREDERICK ASH, of 120 Pear Tree Road, Derby, has died at the age of 90. The funeral will take place at Nottingham Road Cemetery, Derby, tomorrow following a service at St Thomas’s Church. MR ASH was a native of Derby and had lived at his present address for more than 50 years. He started work as a lad with the firm of Messrs EASTWOOD, SWINGLER & Co and remained there for 68 years. His retirement in 1919 was enforced by an accident in which both his ankles were broken. MR ASH and his wife – Mrs ASH died five years ago – were married at St Werburgh’s Church, Derby in 1866. They celebrated their diamond wedding on October 13, 1926. MR ASH was at one time a chorister at St Werburgh’s. A popular and respected man MR ASH was perhaps most proud of his record as the oldest member of the Derby Court of the Ancient Order of Foresters.

It's an index of documents held in each archive, and you can search by keyword (such as name of place or person). I have found numerous links within it.

When I posted the original message I hoped it would stimulate a bit of comment as its such an unusual happening to be recorded in the Accounts. Here I have to admit to a personal interest in that I have an incidental ancestor who was a captive of the Barbary Pirates at the time the fortunates were travelling through Risley. His name was Thomas PELLOW (my mother was a PELLOW)and he has left a ripping yarn of his experiences: " Adventures of Thomas Pellow of Penryn Mariner Three and Twent Years in Captivity Among the Moors" It records his captivity from 1715 to 1738 and describes his capture, slavery, marriage, military exploits on behalf of the Bey and his various escape attempts. It was on the web digitised a few years ago but I have not searched for it lately. Worth the read if you can find it as it records a fascinating corner of European history. Incidentally, whilst researching the Risley entry I learnt that the moors were even raiding for slaves as far as Iceland in the 1600's. I didn't know that! Darryl Sydney Australia
