Certainly not there by 1881. That's the best I can do I am afraid. Kindest regards. Elaine in Ottawa. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

I am searching for a George BOOTH who was the father of William BOOTH who was born c1887 and married at the age of 27yrs to a Annie KIRK on the 6th May 1914 in the Parish Church in the Parish of St Silas Sheffield. His address at the time was 125 Milton Street and her address was 10 Horton Place. George BOOTH was deceased at the time but it states on the marriage certificate that he was a gardener. I have searched the 1991 census hoping to find this person but to no avail. Is there anyone out there that can help me with my research Janet Perth Western Australia

Hi List , Just listening to the radio here in Ottawa and the live radio show is from the new "War Museum". They have just mentioned that ALL WW1 Attestation Papers have been placed on the net and after looking at the site I realise that some of my English rellies were placed in Canadian Units and are therefore on the Archives Web Site. WW2 Attestation papers are being placed on the web also..... Worth having a look...... http://www.collectionscanada.ca/02/02010602_e.html Regards.

I am interested to see if there was a shop at 190 Hanover Street in 1924 and if so, how long Mary Woodward had resided at the place. A relative says that she had 2 shops at various times, one was Fitzwilliam Street and I have those details. Mary died at the Hanover Street address in 1924. Any help appreciated. Aileen in Australia

hello Aileen, Can't tell you about 1924 precisely, but in the 1919/20 White's Directory, there is a Mrs Ellen Andrews listed at 190 Hanover St in the street directory. There is nothing to indicate it might be a shop (though there is a shopkeeper at no. 188). In the alphabetical list of people, there is a Mary WOODWARD listed as a shopkeeper at 38 Brocco St. Hugh in Sheffield ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aileen Furness" <furness@westnet.com.au> To: <ENG-SHEFFIELD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2005 3:02 AM Subject: [SHEFF] Another Woodward query. > I am interested to see if there was a shop at 190 Hanover Street in 1924 and if so, how long Mary Woodward had resided at the place.

Hi Dick Had a quick look at the 1901 census and found this Emily. Don't know if she is yours. she is a little older than the one you mentioned. The family were all indexed under Berkerall but although the writing in the census is very blurred they are definately Butterills (when magnified) in my opinion. William head 33 ........ labourer Melinda wife 31 Ada dau 2 Albert son 4 Emily dau 6 Melinda dau 8 all born Sheffield living at Ecclesall Bierlow 6 Franklin Street RG13/4353 Folio 125 page 32 Let me know if you want the page sent. regards June in Edinburgh

Hi I could do with more detail to help find these people, such as their parents names and occupations and what family groups they might be in? I found a Mark Hirschfield living in Gateshead on the 1891 with his wife Dorothy - do you think that might be your Mark Hearfield, if the enumerator had a problem with the different accent? Janet

Hi Kathleen I have the telegraph 1878,1910 and 1911 and Independent 1911 on 16 rolls of microfilm that i am (gradually) transferring to cd and dvd Volunteers wanted to help with indexing..all you need is a computer!

Hi List I'm trying to track down where my g.g.grandfather LEVI HODGKINSON (or Hodkinson) was on the night of the 1851 Census. He wasn't at home at Dove Houses, in Ecclesall Bierlow, with his wife, Elizabeth and four children! Does anyone have any Sheffield or Derbyshire 1851 census info on him? Age about 35. He was a brewer at the time from Elizabeth's census entry. Possibly brewing beer at Uncle (?) JOSHUA HODGKINSON and Aunt(?) MARIA's beerhouse at Millhouses? If so that could confirm a family tie. Has anyone got details of the 1851 census for the HODGKINSON's at Millhouses nr Sheffield. If so that would be very much appreciated. I think Millhouses was just in Derbyshire in 1851. Best regards John

I have used Ancestry for a long time, but i'm having trouble locating a few people on the census records ( as those of you that use it will know their indexing has been terrible). Basically i'm asking if anyone can come up with these people on the 1901: Mary Ellen HEARFIELD born Hull c1888 John William PERCIVAL born Sheffield c1899 and Emily BUTTERILL born Sheffield c1900 Also on the 1891: Mark HEARFIELD born Hull c1867 I can't find any decent matches for them, if anyone else comes up with any ideas i'd be very grateful. Cheers Dick

I have just been looking at the above and found that census place Stocksbridge has been transcribed as Stockbridge. Thought this may be of interest to anyone trying to find people in Stocksbridge. John
