Good evening everyone, a favour please !

I have a printed sheet from the 1901 Census, but no location given.
The reference no is RG 13/4377
There are 25 entries on the sheet, all female.
Line 19 shows Martha Leavesley, Widow, the age difficult to read appears to be 83.
Her profession / occupation is shown as a Woolen Hosier.
She was born in Nottingham.

Could you tell me the location please
Is it a Workhouse ?

Hi Roger,

It is the Sheffield Union Workhouse, Fir Vale, Pitsmoor,
Sheffield, Brightside Bierlow.

Moira.

It does actually say Workhouse on the ancestry page and she is down as pauper. In 1881 she is down as furniture broker living Eyre Lane.

You can find her burial on the records on this site - I think there is also another Martha Leavesley who maybe her granddaughter.

Hi Moira and Sue, many thanks for the information given

Roger

This advertisement was placed in the Sheffield Daily Telegraph regularly between 8th March 1881 and 7th May 1881:

CAST-OFF CLOTHING WANTED, Ladies' or Gentlemen's, utmost value, Cash payments, appointments attended.--Mr. and Mrs.Leavesley, Eyre street, Sheffield

Hi Ted, what a find !

I was aware that there were Leavesleys on Eyre Street

Thanks

Roger
