Hi Linda,

A little confused by what you are asking.

If he was a refugee I presume he would have to have been registered.

Maybe if you start with Sheffield Archives they would be able to direct you better than we can.

There are a number of Kate Mills on the 1911 census in Sheffield but we would need more information than you have given us to find her. What was her husbands name.Roughly how old was she.

Elaine in Ottawa.

Just to add a little more.

I believe we found some in the St Marie's or St Vincent Registers.

We had an earlier thread about Belgian refugees arriving at the beginning of Ww1. In that one Angela reported that some of the refugees were put up in the Workhouse so they are in the workhouse registers. However many others were put up elsewhere.
