johnm Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 You could get the death cert for £9,25 from GRO ; its reference is 1917 Mar quarter, Sheffield, 9c 804. His name seems to be John W Starkie & he was 33 years old. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Just to add to this the Sheffield Register Office now charge £10 per certificate, fact finding is getting very expensive. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 1911 Census anyone please ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnm Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 1911 census - he isn't easy to find; only one in Sheffield appears to be John William Starkey who at 32 appears to be too old for the John W Starkie we are trying to find out about. He is a fork grinder & is married to Annie age 30 & they have 5 kids age 13 down to 1. Everyone born Sheffield.& they live at 32 Orange St Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HughW Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 The local newspapers will be the place to look. Microfilm copies in Sheffield Local Studies Library. I think some 20th century papers are available by subscription - I only have access to 19th century ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
