Hi Michelle, There is a street index for Sheffield but no name index. If you would like me to check it out, could you please email me direct?? Thanks, Julie

Hi Julie Hope you don't mind me asking but is the information on the 1841/51 for Sheffield done by street name? I'm trying to locate some rellies and I think I have found one in Sheffield in 1856 with an address in Sheffield, however I think it is his work address. Not sure if he was there in 1851 as in 1841 he was in Edinburgh!!! They moved about a bit my lot. Thanks Michelle

Thanks for looking Julie. Will get there eventually...

Hi Martin, No luck I'm afraid! Julie

Thanks for having a look Julie, Would you be able to post the information you did find regarding the families there or is that a lot of hassle ? Regards Martin

Hello Martin, I have the 1851 - 1871 censuses for Sheffield. I have looked for Jessop Lane, and the streets/lanes around it. There are a couple of Wilkinson families there, but there is no Charles Wilkinson in either of them. Julie

Hi, Does anyone have any census information for Sheffield for either 1841/51. I have a birth certificate for someone I believe is my ancestor.. Charles Wilkinson - born 1839 Sheffield I have tried to locate his "so-called" marriage on 1837online but after scanning all possible marriages from 1860 to 1879 to no avail I have decided to try and verify him through birth certificate and census info. The address I have for him from his birth certificate is Jessop Lane, Sheffield... there is no number given. So if anyone can tell me if there was a Wilkinson family living there in 1841/51 you will make me very happy.. Thanks Martin
