I have had an enquiry which suggests that the NBI lists the following burial at St Mary's Walkley: BULLOSS Jane 34 bur 29 Sep 1878 58 Burton St informant William (husband) Some of these details come from a death certificate. But this can't be at St Mary's, Walkley, as the cemetery didn't open until 1880. Could someone check the NBI to see if it in fact does give this as the burial place ? William married again and I have found some children of the 2nd marriage buried in Wardsend, but not Jane, William, or his second wife Mary HADLEY (the last two may have been buried there after 1918 when the index stops). These people lived in Lower Walkley/Owlerton. cheers Hugh in Sheffield

An amusing article on crime in 1911. Something about "have your cake and eat it!" Sheffield Independent July 1911 Burglar Baker After effecting an entrance to a bakehouse after midnight on Tuesday, a youth who has been caught by Detective Bowmer,of the Sheffield force, found a recipe book and proceeded to make a sponge cake,which he had the temerity to devour. The bakehouse broken into was that of Mr Reginald HAYCOCK of 438 Ecclesall road,entrance to which was obtained through a window. After trying his hand in the culinary art the intruder decamped with about 2s in cash. By breaking a panel he effected an entrance to adjoining premises occupied by MR Archie ALDAN of Carter Knowle road,as a photographic studio, and from there he took an overcoat and one or two small articles. Mr HAYCOCK gave the police a description of the youth who used to work for him, and yesterday afternoon Detective BOWMER saw a youth who answered the description in Fargate. This youth Arthur FIELDS (19) of Valley road,Meersbrook will be brought before the magistrate this morning. Many other detailed crime reports from the Sheffield area Glenn Piper researching PIPER-UK.

Looking for SYBELLA SANGSTER This Aunt, is the daughter of 'John Sangster',1790-1866 ( born Scotland died leeds )and we believe she maybe born in 1790 or around about this time. Her name was ' Sybilla' (or similar) Sangster. I have been told that Rev. Charles S. was staying with her, when he was about 20 approx. when the 1841 Census was done. Possibly she would have been somewhere near Leeds, or Sheffield; even Pontefract, but not sure. have all the info of Rev Charles Sangster, from his birth; to his death in 1909 any help greatly appreciated margaret Notts Uk

Hello, all, My name is Ron Hamilton and I live in Woodley, Cheshire. I recently started my good friend, Paul Bullows on the genealogy trail. We have him back to Robert Bullas who was born in 1703 at Ecclesfield, near Sheffield, Yorkshire. This link was confirmed when we found the marriage of a George Bullas to a Sarah Heppenstall in 1760 at Ecclesfield. Robert is George's father. In future years the surname Heppenstall was given to Bullas children as a middle christian name. The name Bullas has appeared in many ways; Bullas, Bullos, Bullous, and finally, as Bullows. Many census entries we have examined contain these different spellings. We are looking for any Bullas families who can link with the Bullas familles of Ecclesfield? We would certainly love to hear from you. Kindest regards, Ron.

Scores of the poorer streets were a blaze of colour and many a slum court where sunshine and brightness rarely enters was gay with mottoes and festoons. In many instances men and women and even older children stopped up for a greater part of the night to complete their schemes of decoration. With astonishing unanimity the working class residents of some streets have cooperated to decorate them from end to end.The energy and enthusiasm put into the task can scarcely be estimated but the results merit unstinted praise. Premier honours in a competitive scheme would probably go to Dun Street,Shalesmoor although Boston Street and Hermitage street and the Ecclesall end of Sheffield Moor would run it close. Not only are streamers and garlands and festoons stretched across the these streets but in the first two names practically evry house has a decorated front. Dun Street excelled because its decoration is less formal and uniform than the others. The upper parts of Thomas Street and Fitzwilliam Street are very good and so are many of the side streets running off them.Carver Lane a very narrow place is also exceedingly bright. One of the greatest surprises is to find such streets as Smithfields,one of the most notorious spots in lslumland, a blaze of colour,while Hoyle street,Allen street,Scotland street and the intervening network of streets vie with each other in their expressions of decorative loyalty.Even Copper street the centre of the Italien population has displayed its loyalty thus. As a matter of fact the area adjacent to the Hillsbro tram route would carry off a prize as a district. The Park people too also made merry. All the residents of the streets appeared to have turned out at night to enjoy the festive scene and revelry. In not a few instances the women kept the collection boxes going and "tapped" visitors who passed their way to enjoy viewing the decorations. The decorations in the centre of the city were on quite a different scale ,natural flowers and electric light being largely utilised for the purpose..... Glenn Piper researching PIPER-UK.

extract from the Sheffield Independent giving lots of detail about celebrations,streets etc.Old fashioned language but really adds detail to family history.Hope it is of interest Sheffield Independent 1911 23rd June The Holiday Spirit Supreme Crowds in the city street. Slumland Gay Toilers triumph in loyal displays. Sheffield was alive with loyal enthusiasm from early to late and the sound of joyous revelry resounded from one end of the city to the other.Colour cheered the eye at evry turn right from the Town Hall down into the Slumland Street and the meanest court and alley. Flags were unfurled aloft,myriads of streamers and garlands danced to the breeze.Bunting,coloured devices and natural flowers contested with each other in the colour schemes, and at night illuminations added brilliance to the scene.People thronged into the city in their teeming thousands until the streets became almost impassable. In short,Sheffield was in the grip of an irresistible holiday humour. By this alone will the coronation be remembered by the vast majority of folk. Steelopolis had lost its commercial seriousness and its monotony of drab, and expanded its broad features in one big festive smile. "The Coronation may come but once in a generation" the citizens seemed to say "then why should we be sad?" A genuine touch of humour pervaded the situation. There was nothing especially happening for the entertainment of the public and therefore people wandered to and fro more or less aimlessly to see how other people were enjoying themselves. There is something fascinating in being in a crowd and thus was enthusiasm engendered into a competition of who could best make merry. Young and ols,sober and gay, in hundreds of instances abandoned the ordinary everyday reserve ,blowing hooters and singing until something like pandemonium reigned. To this was added the throwing of confetti. The tramcars were besieged with sightseers and other vehicles were impressed into service by people desirious of doing the round of the city. Wednesday night was an anxious time. Thousands of youngsters worked themselves into a fever of excitement in anticipation of what the morrow might bring-for had they not been taught in school that scarcely such a king as George V ever lived and that Coronation day was the event of a lifetime?And so they dreamed of alluring joys,many of which proved elusive. The elder folk had been scarcely less excited. High and low, rich and poor vied in their display of loyalty. Out in the West end and in the suburbs Union Jacks floated proudly from flagstaffs over many a mansion but the toilers down in the dingy parts of the city had gone one better.The remarkable enthusiasm and loyalty of these humble folk was a striking feature of the days festivities....

Hi Dot, It's difficult to say because there's always a possibility that he was buried in a family grave elsewhere. The local church is St Thomas Brightside, but the nearest general cemeteries are Tinsley Park and Burngreave. Either is possible, I should imagine.

Hi, I wonder if someone would kindly look up the family of Philip PARKER (born circa 1782) on the 1851 census for me. He's living on Silver Street in 1841 and 1861 so it's more than likely that's where he will be in 1851. His wife's name is Hannah, although he may be widowed by then. His son John and his family will probably be living with him too, wife Ann/Hannah, children including George, Emma, Henry and Robert.

Hi The adress for William BURTON aged 9m is Carlisle St East...from the burial register fiche Hope this helps Angela (LEE) Eckington U.K.

Has anyone any idea which churchyard/cemetery would be local to Hunsley Street,Brightside Bierlow? I am looking for a Thomas Vere died March 1902.He committed suicide. So is he likely to be in a churchyard ? Dot Shaw

Hello Grace, The burial register for St Thomas' should give the last abode of the deceased and this would help here to determine whether the Wm who was buried on the same day was part of the same family. It would be possible to check if there was a headstone for the grave which includes Geo Alfred and this would give details of all the interments with their dates of death. These details are at Sheffield Archives. Regards Phil Ford www.researchingrelatives.co.uk

hi All, I'm banging my head against a brick wall searching for the marriage/parents of Charles WHITEHEAD and Charlotte WILSON. Their first child. Alice, was baptized in 1836 at Sheffield so am hoping they may also have married there. Charles was from Hull but I've had no luck searching there. Charlotte was from Castor, Linc and I have asked for help there too. Being 'new' to Sheffield I am hoping someone can help me with lookups or suggestions on where to look for this time period. By 1841 Charles (a plumber/glazier), Charlotte and Alice were in Liverpool and the rest of their children were born there. I'd appreciate any help/suggestions.
