This article is improving well, it was only a little stub last year. Not only that but it is identifying the major players in Derbyshire history. Victuallers (talk) 10:03, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
- As I've been pointing out in various places - if you look at High Sheriff of Cheshire I've found the London Gazette announcements of appointments for virtually every year back to 1840 (plus 1834), so these can be used to fill out the names across all the shrievalties (except Cornwall, and those in the gift of the Duchy of Lancaster which are of course announced separately). To find more, just go to http://www.gazettes-online.co.uk/AdvancedSearch.aspx?geotype=London enter sheriffs and use the dates to restrict your search, going from January to May of a given year usually seems to reduce the hits to manageable proportions.
