PopT Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I was told the workhouse records were burnt as a result of a German bombing raid on the building where they were stored on Infirmary Road. If this is true maybe the other records from Fir Vale were lost. Does anyone out there have any details? PopT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karen S Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I asked Sheff Archives for info about Fir Vale Workhouse and was told they had all been destroyed in the war. I`ve come to a standstill on that part of my family tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
