hello Patrick I found two specific references to Dun St becoming Dunlop St. One is on Chris Hobbs's site at: http://www.chrishobbs.com/thomaseshutt.htm (a passing reference) The other is an old message on this list, which was from me, so it must be true ;-) http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/ENG-SHEFFIELD/2003-01/1043157503 Looking at the burials at Atterclffe Cemetery which list Dun or Dunlop Street as the place of death, there is virtually no overlap, with the change taking place towards the end of 1871. There's just one in Dun Street in Feb 1872 which may be due to forgetfullness or stubbornness. Does anyone have a copy of the SDFHS pamphlet: "Changes in Sheffield Street Names 1871" ?
