Hi

I have seen your interest in APPLEBY in Sheffield and hope you don’t mind me contacting you.

I am researching the Sheffield Flood (12th March 1864) and am trying to locate the graves of as many of the victims as possible, with a view to then further researching their family line.

Three members of the APPLEBY family, from Hillsborough in Sheffield, were drowned : Mary (age 63) and her 2 children, John Cowton (age 32) and Mary (age 13). John was the owner of a shop at Hillsborough that was partly partially destroyed by the flood. He was possibly married to Ellen and had a son, George G.

They are all recorded as being buried at General Cemetery in Sheffield and the Friends of General Cemetery have very kindly supplied me with a list of flood victims from their database (non-conformists only) but the Appleby’s are not listed.

Do the above sound familiar ? - I would love to hear from you. Thanks in anticipation of your reply.

Best Regards
