Siren Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 There are a number of interesting documents relating to Charlie Peace at Sheffield Archives: 1. Police Ticket of Leave Book, c.1870s: Following the 1869 Habitual Criminals Act, criminals could be let out early on a ‘ticket of leave’ - a permit to convicts allowing them to leave prison under specific restrictions. It could be withdrawn for misconduct. The notorious Charlie Peace (1832 – 1879) wanted for burglary and murder in Sheffield is listed in the book on page 2 (Charlie Peace aged 35) and page 132 (George Parker, alias of Charlie Peace aged 45). He was arrested in 1878, sent from Pentonville Prison to Sheffield and stood trial for the murder of Arthur Dyson. He was executed in 1879. (Ref. SY295/C/7/14) 2. Letters written by Charlie Peace from his cell prior to execution (Refs. MD7297 and MD5021) 3. Photographs of him and posters advertising a reward for information leading to his arrest (Ref. SY295/7/7) 4. Last Will and Testament of Charles Peace, 1879 (Ref. X144/1/2) ...and so on...! You can view these original documents in our searchroom at Sheffield Archives. Cheryl, Sheffield Archives Cheryl Not the right thread I know but do you have any documents relating to Harry Brearley in the archives?

ShefArchives Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 RE. HARRY BREARLEY Hi Dennis We've got quite a few documents on Harry Brearley of stainless steel fame. Most are within the Firth Brown collection but there's around 11 files of correspondence contained in the Firth-Brearley Stainless Steel Syndicate, Stainless Steel Licensors, Sheffield collection (ref. X318). Best bet is to drop us a quick email and we'll list what we've got. We're open 5 days a week (Mon-Thu; Sat) so you're welcome to come and look at any documents of interest. It is likely the Local Studies Library will also have related material, so it's worth dropping them a line too. Best wishes (and apologies for hijacking the Charlie Peace thread) Cheryl, Sheffield Archives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
