Family History Revisited Part 4 - Visits to Sheffield, Rotherham and Lincoln

 

Visits to Sheffield

My first visit to Sheffield was on the 29th of December 1999, now described in Part 1. 

However, my main visit to Sheffield, described in my post of 22nd June 2009 (nearly ten years later), was extremely valuable. Particularly for finding the burial of all those ancestors in the Roberts tomb in that prominent position outside the Church of All Saints, Ecclesall, as the photo above.

Visit to Rotherham

In my post of 22nd June 2022, I described Rotherham Parish Church, where my father and mother were married and where I was baptised by my uncle. The font is still there. I also saw the house where my grandmother lived and the Herringthorpe Playing Fields where we used to play as boys.

Visit to Lincolnshire

On the 4th September 2017, I set out to explore where my mother's Askew ancestors lived. My post of 11th September 2017 described visiting the fens, Toynton St Peter and Toynton All Saints. See Part 3 for the Ascough Burial Records. Then the next day in Lincoln itself, and the searches at the city library.
