Guest MichelleJG Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 I have a Word document which is taken from website, it is a copy of a book written at the time of the flood. It tells what caused the flood and the damaged caused as the water made its way down the Loxley valley, through Sheffield and onto Rotherham and Doncaster. Email martyn41@btopenworld.com if you want it. Or do a search on Google, thats where I found it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karenl823 Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Hi I am researching all the victims of the Sheffield Flood (12th March 1864) and have a considerable amount of information about each family affected. At the time it was recorded that 240 people died but I actually believe 290 people died as a direct result of the flood, although some of these died afterwards of the effects suffered that night. I am trying to contact anyone who is descended from a flood victim but will happily pass on details of any family to anyone interested. Please contact me if you want any further details Karen Lightowler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
