Hi, No doubt you are aware that Timothy Millington, hat manufacturer, formerly of Holly Street, died Saturday November 23rd, aged 66, according to *The Sheffield & Rotherham Independent published on* Saturday, November 30, 1839, and that by his will he bequeathed the interest of his will, namely £300 to be paid annually by his executors to the minister of St Phillips Church, in Sheffield (in this town are the actual words)for the benefit of the British and Foreign Bible Society as long as it exists. In 1842, young Timothy Millington was living in the Haymarket, Sheffield as a Hatter, as he was on the list of people from who the magistrates could choose as being constables. (*NOMINATION OF CONSTABLES UNDER THE NEW ACT *. *The Sheffield & Rotherham Independent* (Sheffield, England), Saturday, September 24, 1842) According to the *The Sheffield & Rotherham Independent* (Sheffield, England), Saturday, April 22, 1843; Timothy Millington was appointed as a special constable by the Sheffield Leet court-he was then living in King Street. There is a marriage of a Timothy Millington Coggin to a Mrs Pamela Marshall at the Parish church of Rotherham on 16th October, 1850, but is that yours do you think? (*Births, Deaths, Marriages and Obituaries *. *The Sheffield & Rotherham Independent* Saturday, October 19, 1850; pg. 5; ) However, like you, after 1843, all references to Timothy Millington Hatter fade from view. My search in the 19th century British Newspapers available maybe from your local library, or if in Illinois, join a British library online and they will send you details of how to get onlne with them. I went with Lancashire library as it pays for The Times online, 1785 to 1985 as well. I am sure that you can join from USA. John * *
