Kim,
one free web site which will be useful to you is www.picturesheffield.com. It is an archive of historical pictures around Sheffield. There are many pictures there of Broad Street, Park which show you what the place looked like in the 19th and 20th centuries. You can print off the pictures (free) if you wish or you can order and pay for better quality prints at higher resolution.
There is a very clear picture of the shop at no 73 in about 1915 (s00798) and there are at least 3 which have No 79 on, one in 1895 and a couple in the 1970s. No 79 was next door to a public house (see y00708, s13808, s25830, t06712)
Also there are 3 pictures of "Long Steps" where Martha was living at 5 weeks old.
Another database you can find info on is here on the left. If you follow the Links button you will find that there are maps of old Sheffield you can access. This lets you see where all the different addresses were (Broad St, Bernard St, Old St) in the early 19th century.
Enjoy looking
Dave
Hello Kim
William Leonard Marshall, aged 75, Retired, of 91 Norwich Row, unmarried, died 23rd Dec on Park Hill, Sheffield, was cremated at City Road Crematorium on 30th December 1974,(cremation number 104560). Henry Marshall was also at the above address and William's ashes were scattered at Hutcliffe Wood, Sheffield, Section 9. regards, Christine Steers.
Christine, Kim
FMP has a death in Sheffield in 2005 of Henry Leonard Marshall, born in 1922. Is that just a double coincidence? Or did he take on Leonard as his second name?

PS, in my earlier message about Picture Sheffield and Maps I said they show Sheffield in the early 19th century. I of course meant early 20th century. Sorry
I think I am a bit (a lot) slower than most of the sheffield indexers here. Finding all this information would have taken me months. :)
(If I don't reply immediately, it means I'm slow (just a bit) but still very enthousiastic and grateful)
Dave, I asked my colleagues from Geel to visit the cemetary to make a picture and they're more than happy to do that. I'll forward it to you then.
Kim, thanks, my cousin will be very grateful.
For your info, a picture of the address that William Leonard, and Henry, were living at when William Lawrence died can be found on Picturesheffield. It was on the top level of apartments (flats) on Park Hill.

Hi Dave,
2 emails came your way if correct.
it meant a lot to my colleagues (and me) to be able to help.
(Please let me know if they didn't came through)
Kim, thank you so much. Wonderful pictures, and so much more than I expected. Please thank your colleague Ann for me. My cousin is over the moon
Regards, Dave
