There is someone called Jacqueline who has Thomas Bestall born 1876 in Sheffield in her tree. Perhaps she could have some information for you.

Thank you Kath, That is all correct, she died when she was 95!
I have seen another where it refers to Lizzie as Aggie.
RamblingRoses, I will give that suggestion a try.
Thanks

I know that there is a great site called picture Sheffield, and I have found interesting pictures there.
I have some relatives who also have pictures.
I was wondering if there was a website, or if I have to go somewhere to find the pictures?
Help would be appreciated! :-)
Thanks
