samsmum Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Is the local studies library different to the Archives down near the Leadmill - if so the staff there are good too and they will always try to order things (copies) from other parts of the region / country if they can - so preventing lots of travel if your family history is a bit geographically diverse the local studies library is in the main library in town ... up a floor i think. the archives is the building down opposite the bbc sheffield building:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tets Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 My dad thinks we are related to sitwell family, but not found any proof yet.I have a book called left hand right by osbert sitwell, which mentions the denisons, our connection or not. With your connections to Chesterfield and Sitwells, Matlock Records Office could be good for you. New Street,Matlock. Bit awkward to find,and restricted parking, but great office.

eileent Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I need to find more info.outside Sheffield and inside Sheffield. For earlier details I need info around Birmingham and Nottingham. In Oz you can acess the online censuses at the LDS family history centre for free. I would think you can do the same in Sheffield if it is more convenient than visiting the library.Wouldnt the archives in Shoreham St also give you free access to the census on line?I'm not sure about that.

Tuppie Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Hi. Wouldnt the archives in Shoreham St also give you free access to the census on line?I'm not sure about that. That's correct, Ancestry is available at the archives along with local studies at the central library. Tuppie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopT Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Ancestry.com is free at the LDS Family History Centres but I think you will find you have to pay for the privilege of using it at the Sheffield Archives and the Local History Library. Happy Hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
