CHARLES STEADE
I remember many years ago when I was a very young girl going with my grandfather (Percy Parker) to visit the owner of Broom House on Broomhill Road. This would have been 1960/61. All I remember was a big house, with a grand entrance and a very well dressed gentleman!
I decided to try and trace the life of one of the residents of Broom House, Charles Steade he lived there from approx. 1830 until his death in 1860.

ANN ST JOHN
Ann St John worked at Whittington House in the service of Frederick Swanwick. She died during the night of 14th August 1838.
The inquest report from the Derbyshire Courier 18th August 1838 states that Ann died "by the visitation of God". I have never seen that verdict before.
