(and family history pages)
 

There are quite a few names, that may be of interest to family researchers, in the pages listed below.  I am hoping to add more at a later date.  Meanwhile, hope you find somebody.

Although I have been as careful as I can in transcribing these documents, they are unchecked and there may be errors.  Therefore these transcripts can only be used as secondary sources.

 Yorkshire Poll Book 1741 (extracts) - A transcription of some of those people who had voted in the 1841 poll who were landholders in Yorkshire.  Landholding was the key to having a vote in Yorkshire - not residency.    There are several hundred names in this list, people who owned land in and around the Sheffield district.

 Articles - Sheffield Daily Independent  12 November 1918 - These articles are just a few pieces from that day's newspaper.  The Armistice to end World War I had been signed the day before and the paper was full of statistics, a complete list of the terms of surrender and lots more about the forces and their bravery.  However, I have selected some of the more mundane and day to day happenings.  I may add some of the WWI information at a later date.

 Notices - Sheffield Daily Independent 12 November 1918.  This page contains notices of marriages, deaths, and memorials plus a Roll of Honour list of those who had fallen in the war in the past few weeks.

Notices - Sheffield Weekly  Independent 15 July 1905 - marriages and obituaries from the Sheffield area
