Recommended Posts

I am researching my family history and wonder if anyone can help, I am trying to find the whereabouts of a place listed in the 1841 census, named Thomeld or Thorneld Croft it is listed as being in the Sheffield South area, I have hunted high and low in old ordnance survey maps but cannot find a thing. Many thanks

Are any places nearby listed on the census which may give some clues as to the location?

Hi Richard, Looks like you are correct, the handwriting on the 1841 census is hard to read.

Cheers

I may be fat and balding, but I stuck with this one for hours, nice to get a result. As Tsavo says "the fun is in the hunt" and I knew I'd get it eventually :rolleyes:

Now, there were three Shemeld Crofts in Sheffield in total, but, we've got the right family, so we won't spoil the party, lets wait till Tsavo comes up with the other two .......

<joking> Pal

Hope the info helps Ruth :blink:
