| Administrative History | William Hitch is noted as ‘farmer and miller’ at Stainsby Mill in Bulwell’s Directory of Derbyshire, 1895. There appears to be no obvious connection with the Dronfield bastardy papers. For other Dronfield parish records, see D2441. |
| Custodial History | These documents were transferred to the Record Office in 1976. Nothing further is known of their provenance. This list was added to the online catalogue as part of the FindersKeepers project, with the help of Elissa Rowe. |
