My family have always been convinced that my father, Reginald John BAILEY (b1914) of Carbrook, (Brightside Bierlow), had a relative on Dunlop St, around 1920 -30 or so, who had a business with horses and carts. Whether he was a carter or farrier or even a coalman I do not know. Neither do I have a name. I know many listers have a huge variety of various books listing businesses but do any show this family? If anyone can tell me I would be very grateful. Thank you, Mike Bailey Sawtry Cambs

Hi All, Can anyone tell me where Tickhill is?

I have recently found my REVILL family on the 1871 census. I knew Thomas REVILL was married to an Elizabeth from Lincolnshire but as it was pre-1837 I'd been unable to find any further information. Their daughter (my great great grandmother) Mary Ann REVILL was born about 1841 but although there was one possibility the Birth Certificate was not hers. On the 1871 census I've been fortunate to find more children, as follows: William REVILL born abt 1843 John REVILL born abt. 1847 Thomas REVILL born 1848 already dead 1849 Elizabeth born abt. 1853 Tom REVILL born about 1855 Sarah A. REVILL born 1st Quarter 1860 Ecclesall (according to 1837 site...so hopefully I can get this certificate) Emily M. REVILL 1862 I would appreciate any information on this family, perhaps from the earlier censuses or Parish Records. Most of them are missing by 1881...did they go to Rhode Island where Mary Ann's husband and some children went later in life? Cheers LIZ www.btinternet.com/~e.newbery

John, There are a few children's names mentioned in the book but you didn't mention your mum's name for me to look. If you are interested in finding out about your mum's stay in the home I have the address to write to, as in September 2001 I wrote enquiring about my grandfather's half-brother, Harry CRAWSHAW who had three stays in the home, two in 1925 and one in 1929. The lady I wrote to was very helpful and provided a typed A4 piece of paper with all the details of Harry's various admissions and other additional info such as relatives names and addresses. If you wish to write the address is as follows, I do have the lady's name but for obvious reasons would not want to place her name on the list without her permission (if anyone wants this name please mail me off list), the address (in 2001) was, Sheffield City Council Social Services Floor 3 Castle Market Buildings Exchange Street SHEFFIELD S1 2AH Just as a side issue to the Fulwood Cottage Homes, there is a plaque at Kelham Island Industrial Museum which lists all the names of the children of the home that served in both World Wars, (my G.Uncle, Harry CRAWSHAW is on the list) and I have a typed copy of all the names which I obtained from Sheffield Archives if anyone wishes to know if their relative is mentioned, although don't ask me whereabouts in the museum it is as I've never actually seen it. If there is enough interest I may list down all the names and mail it to the list.

Hilary, I have just checked on the following site, www.abebooks.co.uk and I did find a copy of the book listed for £4.50, there may be more but I didn't look any further. If you don't have any luck there I do have the name & address of a bookseller in Sheffield (that I go to often) who I know did have at least two copies of the book on my last visit in September last year. If you need this address please contact me off-list and I will forward it to you.

Hi Jeremy Many thanks for your information. I will purchase the book, it sounds interesting Regards Jenny (Whitby)

hello Jenny, Fulwood Cottage Homes was specifically for children within the Ecclesall Bierlow Union. There will have been other homes for Sheffield Union. I vaguely remember that Sheffield sometimes had different theories about what sort of institutions should house orphans - they preferred smaller houses within communities, rather than larger establishments like Fulwood. Sheffield Archives is likely to have records of many of these. They certainly have the records for Fulwood. Here is some information from a conversation I had on the Yorksgen list some time ago (1999!). >>>>>>>> Fulwood Cottage Homes (set up by Ecclesall Board of Guardians) first children transferred 30 Sep 1905 CA 41/37 [Archives reference] register of children 1905-1927 arranged alphabetically (closed until 2003) CA 41/38 register of children 1927-1936 (includes retrospective entries 1914-1927 copied from CA 41/37) (closed until 2012) CA 612/1 register of children adopted under the Poor Law Act 1899 Jul 1902-Oct 1924 ('ie outside dates of resolution of adoption') closed for 75 years. <<<<<<<<<< The person I was writing to also said this , which is useful to know (though the name has probably changed): >>> I am told by Sheffield Archives that I must get permission from Miss Janice Laming at the Family & Community Services Department to view the records of Fulwood Cottage Homes, as my dates fall within the restricted viewing dates. <<<< The information they gave her about the closure periods for these records differed from what I had noted, so these restrictions may have changed.

Hi Jean Not the Clayton I am looking for thank you Regards Jenny (Whitby)

Jeremy, Are there any names in the book of children who were in Fulwood Cottage homes. My mother said that she was in there for a while in the 1920s. This is what she wrote in a small journal "In 1921 we were taken in to the Fulwood cottage homes, all separate houses with a house mother, but we had to look after ourselves, keep clean and tidy, polish our shoes and all this at just four years old."
