ceegee   10 #1 Posted July 23, 2004 A (very) distant relative of my cousin had the surname BENTLEY (first name not known). BENTLEY was out with his pony and trap, somewhere in the Sheffield area (date not known). The pony and trap arrived home without the owner and when a search was started, he was found kicked to death and robbed. I do not know if the assailants were caught.  Is there is a Memorial Plaque where it happened? -  Any further details? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
tiffy   10 #2 Posted July 23, 2004 Have you tried the Sheffield Archives at the City Library as they store loads of info from past editions of the local papers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
ceegee   10 #3 Posted July 23, 2004 Thanks Tiffy  No not yet. The info to date is so vague it would be the proverbial needle in a haystack. If I could pin down a rough date/location it would make things a lot easier. I've had a look in some of the local history books (Crime In Sheffield etc ) but there is no references at all to the murder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
