Hello Maureen. Could this be your James BAGGAN it is the only one I can find in our burial indexes. 30 May 1847 James BAGGAN aged 52 of Sheffield buried at Shalesmoor St Philips. I think that Pat Swindin our projects co-ordinator may have scanned the MI's for St Thomas at Brightside. I will contact her to see if Robert PONSONBY is mentioned.

Happy New Year everyone! I am still hoping to make contact with descendants of Henry Nathan MILLS b. 1856 in Halesworth in Suffolk (son of Thomas Ruse MILLS (1818-1892) and Hannah WESTGATE (1823-1877) who were my 2 x great grandparents. Henry Nathan MILLS married in Sheffield in 1890 to Hannah Elizabeth STEELE b. 1855 who was his 2nd wife. This couple had at least three children John Arthur MILLS b. 1891, Albert Edward MILLS b. 1893 and Edith Parkin MILLS b. 1896. All three registered Sheffield RD. There were also four children by Henry Nathan's first marriage to Lucy Jane PACEY 1855-1889. These were also all registered in Sheffield RD. William Henry MILLS b. 1877, Lily MILLS b. 1882, Thomas Alfred b. 1885 and Beatrice MILLS b. 1887. I have found Henry Nathan MILLS on all relevant census returns up to and including 1911. He seems to have been a successful businessman - fruit and veg and confectionary. I have been eagerly reading through postings for over a year now but unfortunately nobody seems to be researching this line. I have been researching the Suffolk side of the family for 20 years or so now and I have plenty to share with interested parties. Hopefully 2011 will be more successful!

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you Angela THANK YOU thank you so much, this is great, super start to 2011. Would you know if St Thomas M.I.'s have been transcribed & published into booklets so I can get a copy, to see if he has a headstone. Would love to find any photos/pictures of the area & one of Robert's (if he has one) grave. Will try Google to see what they have, maybe find one of those books with old photos. thanks again Angela, best wishes & hope you can knock few walls down yourself Maureen in Pontefract -----Original Message----- From: A.

Donna, Pauline, all, I'm very interested in history either side of the period of Civil Wars. Not quite Sheffield but BRADFIELD in particular where BROOMHEADs were named in almost a Fifth of Parish Register events up to 1630s. When PRs recommenced in 1660s, they were hardly any Broomheads. I believe the most likely explanation is forced migration - if Bradfield was Parliamentarian as I understand Sheffield was then Catholics (or Royalists, obviously) would have been very unwelcome. There are several Broomhead Marriages & Burials around Hope Valley after 1660 for whom no local Baptism record can be found - I such Marriage/Burials and confirmed Baptism PRs do not include the individual. Such people were most likely Baptised elsewhere - tho unfortunately there are also a few Parishes whose Registers are incomplete or lost from 1600-1630, so local Baptism may have occured. I'm probably directly descended from HENRY BROOMHEAD b 19 Mar 1605/6 Bradfield, married ALICE COATES in 1633 Hope. Interested to hear from people with similar understanding or links. best wishes, Mike Broomhead  (Manchester). --- On Tue, 4/1/11, Pauline Bell <pbell7@btinternet.com> wrote: From: Pauline Bell <pbell7@btinternet.com> Subject: [SHEFF] Research 1600-1650 To: eng-sheffield@rootsweb.com Date: Tuesday, 4 January, 2011, 12:07 Hello Donna I have done some family history research in locality of Sheffield relating to this period.

Sorry Peter about Middlewood Paper... I do forget whom I have had contact with in previous years I can't help very much with the Penistone Rd/ Parkside Rd bit except to say that much of the land around that area belonged to the owners of Hillsborough Hall. Originally this was the Steades and in later years the Dixon's of James Dixon and Sons. Around end of 1800s to 1910 a lot of that estate land was sold for building development to both small builders and to the Burrowlee Land Society. Land Societies were the predecessors of Building Societies. Your New Row may have got demolished as apart of this process. I know that happened to cottages on Owlerton Green where my great grandparents lived. I think these are the correct dates but have not double checked recently. Please be aware of this: Built in 1779 for Thomas Steade of Burrowlee House. He called it Hillsborough House in honour of Lord Downshire of Hillsborough, County Down in what is now N. Ireland. It is described as being in the Adam style. The name Hillsborough spread to the district. His son Broughton sold it to: John Rimmington Wilson of the Broomhead Hall family in 1801. Broomhead Hall was on the edge of the Moors and became well known for its grouse shooting and the family eventually became wealthy through the Sharrow Snuff Mill. (www.sharrowmills.com). They are still in business today. His widow sold it to: Joseph Rodgers in 1838. He was part of the cutlery firm of John Rodgers and Sons and from then on the building was known as Hillsborough Hall. The firm of Joseph Rodgers made a huge quantity of different kinds of cutlery and is famous for the Norfolk Sportsman's knife, which had about 80 blades and was the centrepiece of their display at the 1851 Great Exhibition. Edward Bury occupied the building from 1852-1860. He was a pioneer locomotive builder and part founder of the firm of Bedford, Burys & Co. They produced steel, files and other tools and were famous for their pick axes for coal miners. Earnest Benzer, a German born financial advisor owned the Hall from 1860 and he sold it in 1865 to: James Willis Dixon whose father foundered the world famous firm of James Dixon and Sons, silversmiths of Cornish Place Sheffield.

Anne I have a great great great Grandmother Mary Ann Leadbeter ( I believe her father was John Leadbeter) who was born in Sheffield in 1811 or so who married John Moorhouse my great great great Grandfather born in 1810 they were married some time around 1837 - 1840. They moved to the U.S. about 1849 or 1850 with there family William 1840, George 1842 about, and Mary 1845. I haven't been able to go any further back than this with one exception one record I found of John's father named John wife's last name Grindle but can't be too sure of this. If your Emily is any way related to Mary Ann this may be something. Let me know if this is any help.

I am still trying to find more information on my Cruddas family. I know John Cruddas was in Sheffield in 10804. His son William was baptised at St Peter's that year or 1805. I know John had served in the Militia, and believe he may have been a shoemaker in Sheffield. Lorna Cruddas

Hi All, I am new to this list. My relative Enoch PEARSON was born 1837, Morley, (Wilmslow) Cheshire. In 1861 he was unmarried and living with his parents in Styal near Wilmslow, Cheshire. In 1871 he was living in Timperley, Cheshire with a family Wife Sarah born Brook Lane, Yorkshire (Brookhouse in 1881) c 1839 Son Richard born Thorpe, Yorkshire c 1865 Daughter Anne born Tinsley c 1868 I have found Tinsley but not Brook Lane/House or Thorpe though there are possibilities further afield in Yorkshire. Where are these places? Am I on the right list? Are there marriage and birth records online for Yorkshire which could be useful to me? (apart from FreeBMD) Any information gratefully received.

Hi Everyone; Since many folks are restating their interests, I shall pose the following question most germane to my research: Is anyone on the Sheffield List researching anything re Sheffield during the time period 1600-1650? If so, I'd very much appreciate knowing. Cheers, Donna Bingham Munger dgbmunger@att.net

Happy New Year to one & all my main interests in Sheffield are: Robert PONSONBY born Bakewell, died Sheffield (his wife MARY & only child HARRY moved to Pontefract) Has anyone come across his grave or any info on him, thanks. BAGGAN / BAGGIN family JAMES born Ireland married 1822 to ANNE MARTIN in Pontefract. They moved to Sheffield to have children, looking for any help on where they lived & are buried, thanks Maureen

HAPPY NEW YEAR to one & all, hope you knock some walls down this year TANSHELF REUNION Did you or do you know anyone that lived Down Tansh' ? If so, then we are trying to arrange a Reunion for sometime in the New Year, maybe end of February. Tanshelf was a housing estate built circa 1890 & sadly demolished circa 1972 - 1974 now Pontefract Fire Station & few industrial building are there now. The terrace houses were mainly 3 up, 3 down with outside loo's, but were modernised to have inside bathrooms. We had shops, cafe, barber's, chippy, swimming baths, Co-Op, Bakery, cinema & Alexander Theatre (later Bingo hall) Doing my family research I have discovered so many of my ancestors lived down Tansh' quite a lot coming in for work from Stafford & many other places. Many were miners at Prince of Wales Colliery just down the road, or worked at the liquorice factory, Dunhill (now Haribo) My great, grandparents HARRY & ANNIE PONSONBY lived on Headlands opposite the baths. My grandad RICHARD (Dick) REYNOLDS was born on Colonels Walk, then living Princes Street when he married CLARA PONSONBY then lived Victoria Street, where mam was born. Grandad was the cinema projectionist for over 40 years. Dad worked at Johnson's Bakery & then at pit. Mam worked at Dunhills & the baths. She taught us all to swim & she entered Dunhills Gala's & won few times before she married. Still looking for lost photo she had taken with Mayoress who presented mam her prize. I lived with my parents & siblings at Newport Street 1956 - 1972 my name then Maureen CLIFF Jacqueline WOTTON lived Anderson Street with her parents 1957 - 1969 If you are interested in our reunion, or know someone that may, then please get in touch. I have started a group on facebook called, (yes, you guessed right) DOWN TANSH' so why not visit & catch up with who we have found so far, or still looking for, you may be able to help. There is a street map of Tanshelf & many photos, but still wanting many more photos to add. Thank you, hope to hear from lots of past neighbours, family & friends, Happy New Yaer from Maureen (now Walters) & Jacky (now Robinson)

I’ve tried three times to get a message accepted by the list since the replies to my original post. Lets hope this works! Thanks to all who replied to my original message. In particular, John, I would be delighted to exchange info on the BOWER family but I dont have much to offer! My BOWER connection is Hannah BOWER who I have as born 1806 who married William GUITE about 1831. I've had Hannah and her family on the back burner for quite a few years due to other priorities so I'm not that certain about her father but I have him as being Thomas but i have his wife as beingElizabeth Kimsworth not Ann Cox. I did all this in 2000 so there was not all that much on-line info available. This info was from the IGI. I would not be all that surprised to find a different Thomas somewhere! Angela, thanks for the info on the West Riding Registry of deeds. I’ve had a quick (very quick!) look at the site but have not found a searchable index yet. I’m slightly concerned that the property I am interested in which is New Row on the corner of Penistone Road and Park Side Road might have belonged to one of the great estates such as the Norfolk estate and thus no deeds would be deposited, if I understood the info page on the Wakefield site correctly. I am trying to get more info on the three houses in New Row that were occupied by GUITEs in 1841. I havwe to find out if they were all related and where they came from. Pauline, you very kindly sent me a copy of your paper on Middlewood some years ago. I’m going to have a look at your website after I’ve written this. As to why the list has not been very active; it could be down to competition from the Sheffield Indexers site as you suggest Angela or maybe people are moving on from the hobby or maybe because a lot of people reply directly to the poster, rather than via the list. This could be a technical issue because it used to be possible to chose to reply on list as the list came through as sender of the email. That does not seem to happen now. best wishes for 2011, Peter researching LEE, GUITE SENIOR CLAY SPEIRS BOWERS
