Guest Barbara M Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Have you tried the Sheffield Indexers webb site, there is a lot of info on there including baptisms. Good luck ! As an afterthought , are you a member of Ancestry , if so that is a good place to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
History dude Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 There are no baptism records on Ancestry for these people. There are plenty of material on them there including a photo a photo of J W Fothergill, but I suspect Emma might already be that member or a member of Ancestry. If you are not then I can help with the information. Since Sheffield Archives has no real links with Ancestry, baptism records from our area will be hard to find there. Plenty of West Yorkshire material, just not the South stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unitedite Returns Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 The most likely places that these people would have been baptised, assuming that they were C.of E. would have been Holy Trinity Church, Darnall, St. Thomas's Church, Brightside, or maybe, St.Lawrence's Church, Tinsley. Unfortunately and to the best of my knowledge none of these records however have yet been indexed. However, I do believe that the Sheffied and District Family History Society might undertake the necessary research for you, but naturally, for a fee.

ukelele lady Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 If you go to the Sheffield Archives you will be able to look through the St Thomas and St Lawrence Church Tinsley for free. I've searched through both of these and some of the years are on film or fiche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
