Dear Jeremy, Richard and Gordon Thanks for your help. My friend knows Dunlop Street very well. She's just told me by phone that as a little girl she used to go up and down that street many times. She had no idea that Dunlop Street was where her Gt Grandparents lived in 1871. Many thanks again Patrick
Hi Patrick, The only likely candidate in that area, that I can see at the moment, is Dunlop Street. It is quite long. Did they add the 'lop' at a later date? It doesn't show on the 1851 map. In fact few of the streets that appear on the 1903 map show on the 1851 map. It was mostly open fields then.

I have a Richard ELLIOTT in my tree, with the information that he was baptised 16 Sept 1832 in Froggatt Edge. He was the son of Joseph and Adelina ELLIOTT. However, I don't know where this information came from. His father was from Sheffield, and he seems to have spent all his life in Sheffield. Can anyone tell me where he was baptised please. His parents' marriage is also giving me trouble. Joseph ELLIOTT his father, son of Richard and Sarah, was baptised in Ecclesall in 1805, and died there too in 1872. His wife Adelina, nee STRAFFORD, was born in Scrooby, Notts, also in 1805, and died in Sheffield in 1874. However, they were not married in Scrooby, - nor anywhere else that I can find. Their first child that I know of was born in 1829. Can anyone tell me where they were married? Thank you for any help Regards Margaret Switzerland

Patrick, I have just searched through all of my maps (Alan Godfrey editions and original old copies) and cannot find any mention of a Dun Street at Attercliffe-Cum-Darnall. The only suggestion that I can make (as you mentioned Carbrook) is could it be Dunlop Street which is at Carbrook (still there today) and is quite a long road, long enough to have had all of those houses on that you mentioned.

Hi John and all A reminder for any future simular Rootsweb server faults: When or if there seems to be a problem with your list mail deliveries then in most cases there will be a problem, either with your own ISP or with Rootsweb. When a Rootsweb fault occurs such as the recent one where the server has been offline, then posting messages asking if theres a problem will not get any response until after the list has been brought back online and mail starts being delivered again Posting these query messages only add to the problem by adding to the amount of mail the system has to queue for later delivery. The first place for Eng-Sheffield subscribers to look for advice is the list website. Look for a "List Status" link which will access a webpage with any known information. If there isnt one then access the "Rootsweb Helpdesk" webpage link on the lower right hand side of the list website home page. Alternatively contact me with your query using one of my personal addresses (do not use the list admin address because if the list is offline then its not very likely any mail will be delivered to any of the list related addresses) Regards Gordon List Admin (in Sheffield) Sheffield Genealogy Website : http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~engsheffield -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Hi everyone I've just found my friends Gt Grandparents living in 1871 at 127 Dun Street, Attercliffe cum Darnall. Can anyone tell me where this Dun Street used to be? I know there is - still to this day - a Dun Street at Kelham Island. However in 1871 census says that the particular Dun Street we're interested in had - according to the enumerator's book - over 235 addresses in it. The Dun Street at Kelham Island is not - as far as I can see - long enough to have over 230 houses in it. The enumerators book say that 'our' Dun Street is in: - the township of Attercliffe cum Darnall; - the municipal ward of Attercliffe; and - the Ecclesiastical District of Christ Church. I've gone through all the copies of the 1871 enumerators book in which 'our' Dun Street appears and it definitely says Dun Street - and not something like Don Street (which is over towards Rotherham) The rest of the entries in his book are for addresses in the Carbrook area - i.e. Carbrook Lane, Short Street etc. These are at the very top end of Brightside. So I'm assuming that 'our' Dun Street was in the same area as well. But I can't find it anywhere on any map - new or old. Was 'our' Dun Street renamed or did it disappear under development years later - i.e under steel works that were built in Brightside? Can anyone pin-point where Dun Street in Attercliffe cum Darnall was? Regards Patrick

Hi Before they closed down, Ellis Son and Parramore [1980s] had a shop on the other side of the road to the Hallamshire Hospital but a bit lower down Glossop Road. This was opened to cater for people visiting the hospital who needed appliances like splints, trusses and other medical aids. The Boundary stone between Nether Hallam and Upper Hallam was in Glossop Road just above the University Union building. It was just outside my dentist's and whenever I went there as a child, I used to notice this little triangular stone by the gate and wonder what it meant.

Please could someone do an 1861 lookup for me. I'm looking for Selina ROCH (maybe spelt ROCK or ROCHE). She will be around 24. She was born in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire which is where she was in 1851 but by 1871 she was in Sheffield. Her maiden name was TOWERS. I think she will be married to a William as she had a daughter sometime in 1861 called Selina but I don't know if this was before the census. I am also interested in finding her parents James & Sarah TOWERS. James was born in Sheffied and Sarah was born in Chesterfield. Although all their children (Josiah, Sarah, Eliza, Selina, Harriet and Jane) were born in Mansfield, they were not there in 1861 and I therefore wondered if they had returned to either Sheffied or Chesterfield. All help is appreciated. Regards Karen Cogan West Yorks.
Could SKS with access to 1841 census for Upper Hallam, please check for a family as follows: Stephen Fox, wife Mary Ann Marsden Fox, son Hugh Fox born Sept. 8, 1839. I am interested to know if there were other children born to this couple, perhaps shown on the 1841 or 51 census. Also is the birth place of the parents given? Also could someone advise if there are any census records prior to 1841 available? Perhaps the 1841 is not available. If so is there an 1851 available for the above info? Thanks in advance. Jeanne Fox, in N.S., Canada
Hi Listers If possible please could someone e-mail me Piece No 1333/12, ED 25, Folio 47b, RegDist Ecclesall Bierlow I specifically require the family with William WALKER wife Ann and children Isabella, Alfred and William Thank-you in advance. Regards Karen Cogan West Yorkshire
Please could SKS do lookups for the 1851 & 1861 census for Eliza Catherine ROWLAND. She was born on 19th May 1846 in Sheffield North. Her mother was called Caroline. No father is mentioned on the birth certificate. All help is appreciated. Regards Karen Cogan West Yorks
Please could someone do an 1841 census lookup for me. I am looking for Caroline ROWLAND believed to be born in Sheffield. I'm afraid thats all the information I have that would be available for this census. She had a daughter in 1846 called Eliza Catherine and I think she may have married in 1848 but I don't yet know who to. I have searched the Sheffield 1841 database and found 1 name that matches. So I may have already found her - unless there is more than one. Piece_no 1335/3 Folio 18a, Folio 27b, Folio 29a, The above all seem to have the ROWLAND family living in Hollis Croft All help is appreciated Regards Karen Cogan West Yorks
