    1. [SHEFF] Yeardley - Sheffield Flood
    2. Hi all I have been researching the YEARDLEY family as part of my research into the victims of the Sheffield Flood [12th March 1864] but have found conflicting details of burials in Rotherham and wondered if anyone out there can help. There are two entries on the NBI for 1 year old John YEARDLEY who drowned in the flood. Both are on 10th April 1864, one at Rotherham Moorgate and the other at Rotherham All Saints. I have also bought the burial records for Rotherham Moorgate but this shows a burial on 7th April 1864 for John Yeardley but here his age was recorded as 38. I do know John was a little boy when he died so I think one year old is correct but I am confused by the mention of the different cemeteries. Any suggestions?
