Hi Delia,

Last night I was plowing my way through more baptisms for St Nicholas, Bradfield.

This is my transcription and the page was not very clear plus its not the right time frame. It hasn't been checked by Malcolm.

Hannah Denten (John) abode. Oneacre. 26th June 1754.

John Birkinshaw (Thomas) Abode Bolsterstone.
5th Aug 1753.

Save it and it just might bear fruit down the road. Bolsterstone due North of Bradfield (St Mary's C of E). Separate Parish but I dont know off hand when the church was built.(Google)

These facts will also help.

At that time Bolsterstone was within the large parish of Ecclesfield and the chantry soon turned into a public chapel as it became a popular place of worship for the local population because of the large distance to travel to the parish church of St Mary’s, Ecclesfield or its sister church St Nicholas, Bradfield. From its early days the chapel was also used as a day school for local children, this practice stopped in 1686 because the building was deemed unsuitable and a new free day school was built nearby.

Sorry about the separate entries. Bravenet seems to have lost the edit capabilities.

So to add..

The Bolsterstone Entries mid 1700's are entered into the Bradfield Registers.

Thank You Elaine for contributing and taking the time to look for me.
I WILL get further back with my research.
Cheers

Just caught my eye as I have been researching Dentons and came across a case widely reported in the newspapers, in the summer of 1844, as "The Sheffield Riots". One John Denton got 15 months in prison for assaulting a blackleg, Thomas Burkinshaw, at Thurgoland (Denton from Silkstone). So there is definitely summat going on between Burkinshaws and Dentons!
