stevo Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Hi, I wonder if anyone can shed any light on the surname Eblet, which although quite rare, is fairly common around Sheffield. There are a few 'Eblet's' in the Newcastle upon Tyne region, but they are most prolific in the city of Sheffield. Yes, I am an Eblet and I'm curious. A look in the Sheffield telephone directory shows a number of Eblet's yet the name is almost non existent in most other UK locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retep Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 There are a few Eblet's on the 1861 census index around the Handsworth and Woodhouse area of Sheffield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevo Posted November 11, 2004 Author Share Posted November 11, 2004 No, I was 11 1/2 when I left Sheffield in 1973, so I went straight into Filey secondary school. Do you know Filey yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know PIP and TUSH? and any of the Robinsons? Oh Yes! Tush runs the Station Hotel. Pip (if you mean Pip Farline) is still fishing and as a member of the lifeboat, he has been awarded medals for bravery. I know Steve and Brian Robinson. Richard, Gina, Gemma and Jo Robinson. Filey is a small place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevo Posted December 9, 2004 Author Share Posted December 9, 2004 Thanks Retep, There are quite a few Eblet entries in the Sheffield census returns. I'm curious as to where the name originates. There are various theories that have been put to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
