I don't know if any of you know about the Sheffield Flood of 1864, it was a
terrible disaster and more than 240 people died. There are several websites
about it and one that lists flood claims made by victims next of kin and by
people who's property was damaged.
I have found a claim for Thomas Catley, who was a publican. If anyone is
interested I've pasted the link to his claim details.

Here is a page that describes the disaster and also contains links to the
other websites.
