Hello All I know this is a bit of a long shot but I wondered if anyone was researching either of these families with a connection to County Durham. The reason I ask is that I have a 'In Loving Memory' card that reads: In Loving Remembrance of ANNIE MARY Beloved wife of John Edward Robinson, Ovingham House, Highfield who died on Sunday November 3rd 1918 at the residence of her parents Mr and Mrs Twizell, 1 Nell Terrace, Highfield in her 28th year Interred at St Patrick's Thursday Nov 7th at 4pm I think they were neighbours of my Grand Parents who lived at Nell Terrace but I would love to be able to give the card to someone related to the Twizell or Robinson families. I thought I would offer it here first and, if there are no takers, I will try posting it on a Durham listing.

I have no longer got any use for my late husband's microfiche reader, which comes with several fiche covering Sheffield and district burials and lots more. I would like this to go to a group or individual who will use it for genealogy research, not for resale, as I could do that myself. It is for collection only from Hillsborough in Sheffield. regards Janet

This is just to let you know that I no longer need the look-up for 52 Bellefield Street. I have obtained the information. Mary

The Royal Infirmary was a hospital in Sheffield, South Yorkshire Built on Infirmary Road, Albert Road and ?. It opened in 1792 under the name Sheffield General Infirmary and was renamed Royal Infirmary in 1897 and closed in 1980. Built by J.D. Webster & Son's, It had many unique features. One distinctive part was "The Round house", an octaganol outpatient department built in 1884 and was lit by a Cupola. The roof was wrought iron lattice girder's and a tiled waiting room with the consulting rooms leaving off of it. It was extended in1900 by hospital Architects, specialists in hospital architecture. In the 1960's this building was used for Eye appointments and medical records storage. The nurses home "Centenary House" was built in 1897 and there lay many stories !.Over the years other buildings were built including the surgical block, E.NT & Dermatology, Lab & pharmacy,Dr's residence with Nursing dining rooms attatched. Also a medical block and in later years two wards for Cancer patients. One cannot forget the underground, one could go from building to building especially at night, it could be spooky!. There was also a Tennis  Court and a security lodge at the bottom of the driveway. Research in 1841, i do not know, but i do have a copy of a talk given by "Nancy Wood" on May 10th 1997 at the Reunion of nurses trained at the Royal Infirmary, Sheffield  to celebrate the 200th Anniversary of it's opening. It is a very interesting resource including the specifics for specific rooms on each floor.. Surgery was,of course carried out without anaesthetic until 1847 and although it is not in this period ,it is intersting to see how Ether was first used at The Infirmary. Administered from a glass bottle -the vapor being formed by the ether being poured on to small sponges in it. the gentle warmth of the fire and the Dr's hands was enough to vaporise it. In the late 1950's Mr James Hardman, Neurosurgeon was famous for his work for patient's with Parkinson's disease. The patient had to be awake so he designed  a chair that he made from wood. His patients were on Wards 21 & 22 and the hospital was the center for Neurosurgery in South Yorkshire, especially for head trauma. I hope this helps with your interest. I trained at Sheffield Royal Infirmary 1960 - 1963 and was a Night Sister from 1964 to 1966 ,then i came to California.

Hi, I happen to have a copy of a booklet " for the love of the children, author : Marjorie P. Dunn. a story of the poor children of sheffield and of FULWOOD COTTAGE HOMES.IsBNo-9513824-0-3. designed and printed in England by the print and Design factory, Sheffield. Two men, Cyril A rthur Pearson, and Francis Joseph Trotman dedicated a large part of their lives to the welfare of children. In 1891 cyril arthur Pearso, later to be Sir arthur Pearson owned a national Magazine"Pearson's weekly launched a scheme to raise money to give hundreds of poor  London children a good christmas dinner children.From the very beginning Pearson worked in conjunction with sir John kirk of the Ragged School union. F.A.F. In 1893  a group of Sheffield School Teacher's met in the Carver Street School rooms because they were concerned about tye conditions in which they were living. as a result of this meeting they decided to apply for funds from the F.A.F in london and were successful. those funds continued until the late 1930's and even later for many years to come contributions were sent to Fairthorn home in Dore.

I finally found an ancestor who seemed to be missing on the 1841 census. She was listed as a patient in the "Sheffield General Infirmary" at census time. Does anyone know of research that might have been done on the Infirmary during that period. It would be interesting to know even its location or a bit of history.

Hi, I am looking for information on the reason why and by whom the Fulwood Cottage Homes were founded. I did understand that my Gt.Uncle had a hand in it but I will not tell you his name because it will suggest something to you. I always believe it is better to look art the facts first.

Hi, Have you looked at the census returns which were taken every ten years and these give you an address as well as the wife and names of the children. Do you know which area he lived in and what year he was born which is very helpful when looking up the censuses. I think I have found him in the 1891 census living with his brother and again with 1901 with a wife and children.. Sending you the images.

Hello All, If anyone is going to the Sheffield Library in the near future, could you check the 1883 and 1884 Sheffield/Rotherham directories to see who lived at 52 Bellefield St.? It might help me track down one of my most elusive relatives. Thank you. Mary in Wisconsin

This is taken from museums-sheffield.org.uk The coffee pot was made by Richard Morton & Co of Sheffield. This firm made a vast range of goods from Old Sheffield Plate and was based at Brinsworth's Orchard (now Orchard Street in the city centre). The coffee pot is stamped four times at the top of the body with the mark 'M.Co'. In 1785, the firm's mark changed to a cockerel. John
