Guest TCV Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Ecclesfield St Mary-John Woffinden age 57-8 March 1894-died Sheffield Really! That's amazing, I past that church when I go to my mothers! Looks an old church, I'll have to go and visit it! That ties in cos my Grnadad always said he had an aunt with a farm at Ecclesfied, the farmhouse is a cattery now. Thanks for that Neddy! I don't suppose you know where a Charlotte Searle is buried too? I believe she died in 1875 she was 51/52 died in Sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Census records suggest John was born in Rotherham. Hugh You're a star mate! Sophia was John's wife, Caroline and George I've no idea about means more investigation I guess! Aye John was born in Masbrough. Its crazy how the surname's spelling changes so quickly! I'm related thru their eldest Mary Elizabeth, crazy family she married an Edward Smith had a son called Edward but they're buried as Edwin apparently! So is Greno Wood and Grenoside still St Marys in Ecclesfield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughW Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 So is Greno Wood and Grenoside still St Marys in Ecclesfield? Grenoside was in Ecclesfield Parish. St Mark's Church, Grenoside was consecrated in 1887 as a chapelry within that parish. Grenoside did not become a parish in its own right until 1938. There are no burials listed for St Mark's so it may not have a graveyard. re: Charlotte SEARLE. I can't find a burial in the published indexes. If she is the Charlotte born in Dublin, the wife of John, living in Mowbray Street in 1871 (in a china shop which makes me wish their surname was BULL), they might be buried in Burngreave cemetery, which has not been transcribed.

Hugh RichardB you were right! They've com up trumps! Aye that's them! (Bulls, I've close BILLS run in the family!) TBH the Searles have been difficult to trace, so your probs right Burngreave isnt that far from Mowbray Street, I've not managed to find their son Humphrey Mills Searle either. My uncle remembers my Grandad taking him to Wardsend cemetery to visit his mother's grave a Frances Smith (nee Searle), we both went up there but the graveyard is in such a state we couldn't find anything there's been a lot of vandalism and its a very odd place! Been trying to locate the Charlotte side cos my uncle wants to know more about his Irish heritage, I'm clutching at straws but 2 of sons have the name Mills Searle Humphrey and Francis John Mills Searle so I thought it could be Charlotte's maiden name? I'd love to know where they ended up and the Bills family too because I've found none of there burial details at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughW Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Wardsend is an interest of mine (a sideline from Walkley). If you were able to find the burial reference (from the entry in the burial register or from the original paperwork given to the family) I am confident I would be able to find the grave. The only Frances in the index of MIs is too early I think - buried 1886 agd 55. Does you're uncle remember if there was a gravestone? The index is far from complete. Now here is a mind-boggling coincidence... This morning, as well as watching the boards, I have been inputting some MIs from Walkley Cemetery which were recorded on paper in a session earlier this year. In front of me I have a wadge of about 15 which I have been working through. One I hadn't got to yet is this one: Walkley Cemetery Grave L1 76 (the secton is L1) In / loving memory of / GENEVIEVE MAISIE beloved daughter of / JOHN REUBEN & ROSE ANNIE SEARLE / who departed this life Feb 9th 1940 aged 15 years / Safe in the arms of Jesus / Also the above named JOHN REUBEN SEARLE / who died Jan 23rd 1954 aged 73 years / At rest in the Lord / Also ROSE ANNIE beloved wife of the above / born Nov 18th 1881 died Oct 20th 1966 / re-united John Reuben, if I am not mistaken, was the son of Humphrey Mills SEARLE.

Guest TCV Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 There are Bills burials at St Philip. Really the earliest Bills I have are George and Ann born about 1846 in Staffs, they ended up running a Grocers/Off licence on Staniforth Road no idea where they're buried I think George died about 1904 and Ann some time after. The some of the Searles were baptised at St Phillips John Reuben and the one I'm related to Humphrey Mills, I've no idea where they're buried is it likely to be at St Phillips you think?

Hugh Jesus! What a coincidence! Yes he's the eldest son of Humphrey Mills Searle and Mary Ann, can't believe that! I'm related thru their youngest daugther Frances she died in 1942/43, she married a Joseph Smith. My uncle was only small when he was took there and remembers very little about it. Nice one thanks for that Hugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
