Re: william hinde

Hi Mary,

William was 26yrs old when he married Ann in 1795. This would give a birth date
of around 1769.

Might this be him.

William and Thomas Hinde sons of Samuel, comb maker, baptised 7 Nov 1770,
Sheffield Parish Church.

Moira.

Re: william hinde

Mary, the French Revolution was in 1789 and in Britain the Volunteer Corps was created by raising volunteer battalions all over Britain. The Sheffield Volunteers was one of these. The purpose of the volunteer corps was to guard against invasion from the continent. Similar corps continued to be raised throughout the napoleonic wars..
Suggest you google Volunteers 1790 and you will see several articles which explain the corps. One mentions the Sheffield volunteers in a list of others in Yorkshire.
