| Matlock & Matlock Bath: How You Can Help |
| Found something on this site for your research? Perhaps you would like to contribute something in return |
| |
Any out of 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. However,
please do not sent material from another web site.
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. Also,
let me know if you want your e-mail address to be included on the
list of contributors as I have now stopped doing this. 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/now Staffordshire RO) - 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 provided.

... a 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.

Biographies |
... 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.

... a 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. |
... a Will Reference

and Matlock Bath Wills' in the subject line.

... Census information
All census returns 1841 - 1901 have been transcribed.
See the
Census Index
Whilst I'd really welcome material for the 1911 census I cannot
currently see how it will be possible to transcribe it although
I am open to suggestions. |
... 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.
