Matlock & Matlock Bath: How You Can Help |
If you've found something on this site for your research
perhaps you would like to contribute something in return |

Any non copyright material that is relevant to the
history of Matlock or Matlock Bath would be very welcome and all contributions
that are published will be properly acknowledged and attributed. I
also welcome material that is your own copyright and copyright material
that permission has been sought to reproduce. If you aren't sure about
this, I may be able to advise you.
Under normal circumstances I will try to acknowledge what you send
immediately, but please allow up to 28 days for the information to
be added to this list to take into account holidays etc. Let me know
if you don't want your e-mail address to be included on the list of
contributors. If you are passing on information given to you by someone
else, please seek their permission first and I will, of course, include
an acknowledgement to them. Unfortunately, I do not have time to write
to other people seeking their permission.
Below are just a few suggestions of how you could help. What I'm looking
for in particular is additional biographical material, church registers,
old lists of names, newspaper cuttings, strays, trades directories,
tourist guides and will references (particularly from Lichfield) -
or any odd Matlock 'fact'.
Once you've looked through the list and want to get in touch, please
go to the page where my email address for
Matlock is. |
- Adding a Matlock or Matlock Bath Biography
It would be interesting to read something about, for example,
a lead miner, a worker at one of the mills or someone who worked
at one of the hydros. Did anyone from Matlock emigrate to Canada
in the early years and what did they do? Was anyone known to have
been transported to Australia or Virginia and did they survive?
Many of those who worked or owned an hotel made major contributions
to Matlock life.
However, please be concise; avoid individuals who have died in
recent times and stories that contain long lists of dates or children's
names. I have not got the space for that kind of detail, but brief
biographies will be very welcome.
Please email with 'Matlock and Matlock
Bath Biography' in the subject line.

County (Chapman's) Codes - please use where applicable.

- Adding a Newspaper Cutting or Public Notice/Announcement
that refers to Matlock or Matlock Bath and its inhabitants
If you have a very short cutting of no more than a few lines or
a public notice or announcement, I would very much like to hear
from you. I've not got the space for anything longer, but would
welcome a variety of topics, however insignificant they may at
first appear to be. For the time being, though, I've decided not
to include any reports of people who were either in court or in
trouble with the police during the early part of the 20th century
as some of their relatives may still be alive.
Please send me an e-mail with 'Matlock
and Matlock Bath Newspapers' in the subject line.

- Adding a Matlock or Matlock Bath Stray
A stray is someone who was born in the Matlocks, but has been
found elsewhere at a particular time. A stray could be someone's
'missing link' si if you have any names that could be included
on these lists, I should be very pleased to hear from you.
Please send me an email with 'Matlock
and Matlock Bath Strays' in the subject line.

Strays
If you have other Derbyshire Strays that you would like to submit
to the Derbyshire
Family History Society, send them to Bridge Chapel House on
a card or piece of paper measuring 5" x 3", giving as
many details as possible. Other Family History Societies index
Strays, using the same method.
- Adding a Matlock or Matlock Will Reference
Please send me an email with 'Matlock
and Matlock Bath Wills' in the subject line.

- Matlock & Matlock Bath census information
All census returns 1841 - 1901 have been transcribed.

Index
Looking ahead - when the time comes I'd really welcome material
for the 1911 census. Small contributions will be welcomed if sent
in an email but if you have a large contribution
please e-mail me first.
If you download copies or have photocopies of any of the Matlock
and District pages from this census and are prepared to transcribe
a page or pages to include onsite, please email
the webmistress about what to do next. Could you indicate
if you'd be prepared to either use an Excel spreadsheet, which
I could send for you to fill in, or send the information in a
text file (comma delimited)
- Church Registers of the Matlocks
Additional material to that already on the site, or linked to
it, will be welcomed, though please email before you embark on a project to ensure
there is no duplication of effort.
