Personal Local and Family History Resources
« Reply #1 on: Sunday 21 November 04 12:03 GMT (UK) »
I have acquired a good deal of experience in resources, both Primary and Secondary, since I first posted.

I have resources for Yorkshire, and considerable ones for Cornwall where I was born. I have a copy of British Family Names, which details origins of surnames as at the start of the 20th century, also including details of all landowners down to sub-tenants following the Norman Conquest.

Please start a thread in the appropriate requests section so others can benefit from the results - you never know, a relative may be found who reads your post.

I DO NOT CHARGE FOR RESEARCH, SO PLEASE DO NOT OFFER!

Cheers

Chris Penrose

Birstall & Batley in the 1700s
« Reply #2 on: Wednesday 26 January 05 00:49 GMT (UK) »
I have access to most of the microfiche and some booklets for Birstal for the 1700s and also some transcripts for Batley for the same years.  I can also find details for a few years either side.
A few of the fiche are almost unreadable but if you have approximate dates I'll see what I can find.

For a lookup request please start a new topic in the census and resource lookup request board for this county


Always searching for Broscomb in all its forms and possibly even Broxup.  The family appears to have arrived in Birstall in the 1650s ....... but where from???

I have some old Sheffield Street Directories dating from 1940s (between endd of war and 1951). They have no covers and a couple of the pages at back for letter Y are missing.

Other than that they are fine...hope this is of some help

Just an amendment to my previous lookup offer  -I've had a few people asking me to lookup specific people for a specific address - these directories I have only state where the road/street is located in the city - there are no details of residents...
handy if your looking for a street that has now disappeared or if you dont know sheffield and you need some help locating where your ancestors lived...
Just thought id make that clear
