Looking at the Sheffield Indexers website it has a brand new GenSearch database.

It is being built up to contain the names and basic details of those people in your family tree who have a Sheffield or Sheffield-related connection, including nearby areas such as Rotherham and Ecclesfield.

People may be interested in the leaflet on Looking for Local and Family History in South Yorkshire: a guide to sources of information, which is available from libraries in the region. It lists all the local history libraries and archives and has a list of useful websites such as the ones mentioned.

Hi, would you contact me on my e-mail, the address is JYROL5@aol.com

Hi Jan, many thanks for the 'tip' but that site is the one that was hijacked from the original Sheffield Indexers and doesnt quite work properly either! The one for any Sheffield researchers to go to is

Please let people make their own decision
The site http://www.sheffieldrecordsonline.org.uk/ works fine,
and has comprehensive records.

Searching for family records is a very interesting hobby, whichever site you use !

I'm sorry but this is utter nonsense on both accounts. The original site was not hijacked but a copy made when one of the original founders got a bit power crazed and shut it down.

Secondly, it works just great, has many more records than the other site you are clearly working for and many more users too.

If you're going to post defamatory material at least get your facts straight in future.

Rivelin Roman Catholic burials have now been added to

My name is Elaine Pickard. I am the Site Admin of the "Sheffield Indexers"
This forum is NOT the place to discuss the relative merits of my site & the other one.
If anyone wishes to know the history of my site feel free to contact me....

emdungworth@yahoo.ca

Having used both of these sites, and both of them are excellent, due to a lot of hard work by all concerned, I don't see any merit in anyone trying to discredit either side,
many thanks to ALL the indexers

I have a distant relation called Mary Denton b1805 (Ecclesfield) who married my ggg grandfather John Burkinshaw. Each generation since has had Denton as a christian name, my Dad for one. My mum decided that my brother wouldn't suit being a Denton so she called him Neil Denton Burkinshaw. By doing this broke the family tradition Hope this is useful in some way. Cheers

bildeborg,

My surname is KAY,who are you looking for?

Hi Floridablade, My husbands maternal family name was Kay from around the Ecclesall Rd. area and Heeley. Do you have any names ?. I have the record of a 1872 marriage and a 1896 marriage etc.
Cheers, Cynthia, Ontario, Canada.

Wanted to bring this on to todays date so that I may receive a reply from
FLORIDABLADE.

Cynthia.

Does http://sheff-indexers.thewholeshebang.org/index.html still operate, please?
The link isn't working.

Granma.

It is now-

Good hunting.

I have recently been using the Free Yasni Search website and have found a few items on there that were useful in my search for 'lost' rellies.

The latest was an old peoples home site which not only gave details of my ancestor but a photograph also, which was excellent.

If anybody wants to use the site it is at http://www.yasni.co.uk

I must warn users that it does give out loads of stuff and you have to be prepared to wade through a load of stuff not relevant but if you are keen and willing to persevere the results can be excellent, bear in mind it is free.

Good Hunting!

My surname is Kay, my father was Douglas Victor Ely KAY and was a scythe grinder at Abbeydale and then Little London works.

Hello Cynthia, I can give you my fathers name and an uncle, I have posted my fathers name my uncle was George. I was born at Meadowhead then moved to Southey Hall Drive, then to Millmount Rd the to Priory Terr.

I use both recordsonline & SheffieldIndexers websites even helping the latter transcribing City Road records, Personally I dont care how either came about i'm just very glad that they did as both have been a wealth of information. to both sites and many others out there that give there time to give us this free info, keep up the excellent work and MANY MANY THANKS

Hi

My grandmother, Lucy Evans, was previously married to a Richard Addy by whom she had three children. She was living in Furnace Hill in 1901.

Hello Cynthia, I can give you my fathers name and an uncle, I have posted my fathers name my uncle was George. I was born at Meadowhead then moved to Southey Hall Drive, then to Millmount Rd the to Priory Terr.

My husbands Grandfather was Maurice Kay born 1874
Brother William " 1877
Sister Rose Ann " 1880
Children of William Bn.1852
and Ann Bn. ?

I am sure that there must have been more children. I could only find the above on the 1881 census, as Rose Ann was born 1880.

Thanks for your reply. Cynthia.

I'm trying to find Anne Dewsnap. (not sure about the 'e' on the end off Anne!) My Mom told me to send her a message. I'm only 42 years old and I have to do what my mom tells me. Only kidding, if Ms Dewsnap is around I'd love to hear from her! Pm me.

Thanks.

Hello, Ann(e) or anybody who knows her, please send me a pm.

another good site for look ups etc is www.ancestryaid.co.uk :thumbsup:

When you consider that both sites are free, and the information contained in them, I think everyone concerned with them is doing a grand job. Many thanks, I have found quite a lot of info from both of them.

These are VERY good:

Her fathers name was William Trickett(1844) who married Mary Kay in Sheffield in 1866.
