Hi My wife's forbears on her fathers side[SMITH ] came mostly from Sheffield. However, her gt gt gt gt grandfather one ROBERT WOOLLEN** was born in Derbyshire in a place called Moorhall, Barlow. On current maps they are close to Chesterfield so I presume they would come within the ambit of the Chesterfield list. This being so can anyone help me with expanding the info which I list below [researched and written down between 1875 and 1920 ] or pointing me in the direction of records that would assist in this endeavour. Joseph Woollen of Moorhall in the parish of Barlow, county of Derby II Robert Woollen of Moorhall bapt 22 May 1693 Married ...................?? II Joseph Woollen of Moorhall bapt 24 April 1726 Married.....................?? II Robert Woollen** of Moorhall and Gatefields, Sheffield born 20 Dec 1758 married Hannah Wilson of Darnall, Sheffield 23 Oct 1780 died Sheffield 3 Oct 1837 II Elizabeth Woollen born 13 Sept 1796 Sheffield married 12 March 1819 in the Parish Church Sheffield to William Smith, Barrister died Sheffield 12 April 1833 6 weeks after the birth of her 9th child. Robert Woollen was a Miller and Baker and also a contractor suppling forage to the Barracks in Sheffield. I believe Moorhall was the source of the produce he used in his businesses. Any help in this quest would be much appreciated. John Elmes Chancellor Park, Sunshine Coast, SEQ, Australia.
