togger Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Good morning everyone, Long shot this one: Attached is an old image of the families and I am wondering if anyone can identify the window and ultimately which Sheffield church this is please. Difficult one I appreciate, but quietly confident that someone might just know where this is Many thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopman Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 If you know the couple that would help. It might have been at the bride's parish church. It should be possible to get a copy of the marriage certificate if you're keen enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
togger Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 Hi Hopman thanks for the reply. She lived Sheffield Park and married 15th February 1939. On the 39 register she lived with her parents on Bungay Street just off South Street. I have tried to identify this church but looks like a marriage Cert is in order Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopman Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 You could try asking Sheffield Register Office if they have a record for this date and place of the marriage of XXXX. If they don't, then they can't charge you for a certificate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boginspro Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Hello togger where did the groom live please? It's a long way from The Park and probably not the case but the stone work / framing of the window looks very similar to the window that was replaced at St Mary's Church, Walkley. I have no picture of the old one but below is the replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melvyn Baxter Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Just looking at the census for the 1800s, just cannot believe what the top corner of the script says regarding Deaf, Blind, idiot etc. WOW !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinR Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Language changes continually. Unfortunately and description of a condition which is held to be sub-optimal will eventually become an insult, and a new "polite" term developed. Give it a few years and the new term becomes offensive. As a good example, see Wikipeda on the name of Down Syndrome Indeed, Down Syndrome is falling from favour (calling someone a "Downie" is a playground insult), and Trisomy 21 is becoming preferred. The C19 census just reflects current, accurate and polite terminology for various handicaps. Whenever researching history you need to be aware of linguistic changes and use the historical interpretation, not react as a C21 reader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
