Hi Barry & Paul,

Just to straighten the church out...

All marriages to 1848 were supposed to take place at Sheffield Parish Church St Peter & Paul) now the Cathedral.Or their chapelries. i.e. Ecclesall Parish Church. There were very few churches until 1848.

Many Sheffielders did go to Rotherham/Bradfield & Ecclesfield rather than get in the queue in Sheffield.

Regards.

Hi Barry,
Sorry not on ancestry but can tell you William Rhodes is my GGGG Grandfather.

Hi, William Rhodes is my 3rd great grandfather and I am descended from John Rhodes which line are you descended from? Are you in England or abroad. regards Barry

Hi Barry,
I'm also through John Rhodes. His daughter Mary Ellen (b-1859) married William Brown in 1876 and that ends my Rhodes line.

I am in Canada and have a lot of Sheffield people in my past. I actually stopped at the Sheffield Archives back in May 2013.

Do you go back past Thomas Rhodes, William's father? I'm not sure but possibly Thomas was c-17 Jun 1772 in Cleckheaton, Yrks-any confirmation?

Also would you have a birth date for Mary Ellen Rhodes, John's daughter?
