In 2009 I received an email from a gentleman located near Ottawa, Canada whom for privacy I will refer to as JRA.
In his email JRA describes how as a child, his mother, who lived at Bower Street, Hillsborough, Sheffield 6, remembers going round to uncle Harry's (Harry RENWICK 1885-1959) in nearby Burton Street to play.
JRA who is descended from John Thorpe RENWICK 1790-Deceased sent a family tree of his RENWICK line of his family in order to save other researchers, including myself, a lot of searching or at least allow us to cross check our existing research. One can see from this document JRA has obviously spent a great deal of time researching his family tree.

JRA included copies of the two photographs that illustrate this article. Originally the copies were made to record identities, after which and rather unfortunately the originals were mislaid. This is a great pity since all but one person in both photographs have been identified.
If anyone wishes to be put in touch with JRA please use my contact form and I will pass on your details.
Hi
I received information from JRA years ago but I lost his email. I updated my tree with his information and sent him a death certificate for Ann Renwick wife of George, his and my GGG grandmother.
I also have the certificate birth and death for John Thorpe Renwick born 1791.
I just found out that he was in debtors prison in 1842 poor man. Going to the archives soon to try to find out more about this.
It was good to see some photos though.
