Sheffield Indexers
Welcome to our forum ~ please post your questions below.
Thanks Brian.
The Antcliff(e) family is known to have settled in Sheffield in or around 1871, this being John Henry Antcliff and his family.
Before this date, the family were in and around Nottinghamsire. I am unsure as to which area of Nottingham John H was born, but know from marriage certificate he married Sarah (nee Wilson) at Retford Registry Office in 1864. From cert his father was also John, and states his profession as either TAILOR or SAILOR. He did not witness the marriage, maybe he had passed away by this time.
The 1871 census states a Sarah Antcliff(e) aged 18, as a lodger with family, and I am assuming that she was his sister.
I have been unable to trace further back from this.
Unsure as to whether anyone from Sheffieldindexers could help, with this family being from Nottinghamshire.
Regards,
Sara

John Henry was born about 1845, Nottingham.
He died in 1892, aged 47 yrs, in Sheffield.
Possibly had sister, named Sarah (aged 18yrs, in 1871)
Hi. Yep I have this information, and it is indeed my GG grandad...he has a lovely headstone! I visit it several times a year, just to show respect! x
There's an 1871 census for a John Antcliffe born Markham as a servant (carter) do you have that one?
Hi Marlene.
The 1871 census that I have, states John Antcliffe aged 26, stone work labourer, Markham, Notts

An inconsistency: the child Sarah is listed as born in Spilsby LIN in the 1871 census.

Thanks for that Hugh...I shall take time to look at this info...as for Sarah, yes it does state that she was born in Spilsby, Lincs...confusing somewhat!
I have a Sarah A in my tree at East Markham, baptised 9 July 1781 born 28 Jun 1781. She was the daughter of Luke A and his wife Mary Johnson. I notice that on the 1851 she is Unm and the 1861 she is a widow.
