used in this part of the website. The map is from Rhodes, Ebenezer
(1824) "Peak Scenery" pub. London, Longman,
Hurst, Rees, Orme, Brown, and Green, Paternoster Row.

Although transcripts of three Cromford trades directories have

Cromford Directories now have an index and two new transcripts
have been added. I've linked to a good deal of onsite material
from the page, there's a photo of Cromford Village and a quotation
from Firth's 1908 book about Derbyshire.
The two new directory transcripts are:
1. Kelly's 1895 Directory
} Photocopies of both directories were sent to me a while ago
by Martin Rowley
2. Kelly's 1899 Directory
} and I've finally scanned them. Thank you, Martin. |

Wolley Manuscripts Derbyshire
Several New Pages:, relating to places mostly within
Derbyshire, have been added to complete the project launched
last month (see below). There are a few additional surnames,
not included before because the majority of infomation was about
the place, not the name. |
| Oct 2003 |
New Pages:
Wolley Manuscripts Derbyshire
This is a major collection of pre 1828 manuscripts, many relating
to Derbyshire, that were collected by Mr. Adam Wolley of Matlock
and given to the British Museum before he died. Presented in
alphabetical order to aid research.
If you are already familiar with the Wolley
Manuscripts, Matlock that are onsite you'll find these a
welcome addition as they cover the whole county as opposed to
Matlock and District. Information in this section has been extracted
by the webmistress from articles written by Rev. Charles J.
Cox, LL.D., F.S.A. that were published in the Journals of the
Derbyshire Archaeological and Natural History Society, so is
slightly different from the Matlock information as it is extracted
from a different source. You may need to look at both, but there
are links from the Derbyshire section to help you where necessary.
For those interested in either Wensley or Snitterton, deeds
relating to both places are now included in the Matlock section |
Additions to:
- FAQs in the Matlock part of
the website has new sections on Fealty and obligations to the
lord/king, Mills, Property (messuage, croft, hovel, etc). Also
a few basic Latin words that crop up in research have been added |

New Pages:
During July and August many New Pages: have been added
to Kelly's Directory of Derbyshire, 1891. This has meant a new

onsite links have ben changed and there is forwarding for those
who are linked to one of the original pages, which will remain
for a few months to allow webmasters to change their links.
