RichardB Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 A survey carried out on January 2nd 1615 showed Sheffield to have 2207 people, thus : 725 - the begging poor, not able to live without the charity of their neighbours 100 - those that relieve others; poor artificers; among them, not one who can keep a team on his own land; less that 10 who have ground of their own that will keepe a cow 160 - not able to releive others. Not beggars, but not able to abide the storm of one fortnights sickness, without being driven to beggary 1,222 children and servants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
