A delf or delph was a quarry, probably for clay. There are a number of place-names around Sheffield, where they would have quarried, for pottery and also ganister for furnace linings. Also the name delves.

There were quarries for clay and sandstone in Liverpool, so this could be the answer, thanks

"Chreswell, Elmton"

There's an Elmton near Creswell, Derbyshire

That could well be it, I have just gone back one page on the census records and there is a Smith family, Head is William and mother is Ann, from Cuckney which is just along the road from Chreswell.

Thank you!

Hi

I'm trying to find the birth record of Mary Smith, father is William who was living in Eckington, Derbyshire on the 1861 census. I don't think the transcription is correct (I googled it, it doesn't exist) so can any of your guys help me?

John Liveridge is the husband, I should add
