Hello Elaine and Terry, just checked Mum's birth certificate. She was born number 16 Harmer Lane but they were living on Garden Street when Grandma registered her on 19th November, so she was probably baptised in that parish, depending on when they moved,thanks again for your help Val
The Baptist Chapel on Eyre Street celebrated Baptisms and Marriages of Pond St area and Sheffield Park folk, and they didn't have to be baptists. My rellies got married there and were not baptists.
Hi Paula,Elaine and Terry,thanks all for your help especially you Terry for taking the trouble to search the registers.Goodness knows where she can be, perhaps she wasn't christened, which seems strange when the rest of the family were baptised.Thanks Terry for offering to check the Baptist church records, it's very kind of you.

If this is St Simons Paula,we've done the baptisms up to 1940.
I believe that Val you mentioned all the other children were baptised in a C of E Church. Am I correct?
If that is so then I would say you are looking for a C of E baptisms.
Val have a look at this page on our site map, then under Parish Records. C of E one & two then just underneath Non-conformist records. It might help narrow the church down for Terry.
Hello Elaine and Terry, I really am at a loss to know which church to suggest,please Terry do not think I am expecting you to keep on searching for me. You are very good to have done as much as you have already,I really am very grateful.Thanks again Val
Just a thought. Was your grandmother (mum's mother) originally from somewhere other than Sheffield? Might she have taken your mum to be christened in the parish of her parents? I came across this with one of my ancestors who lived in Derbyshire but took 2 of her babies to Suffolk to be christened in the parish of her parents while her other 6 children were christened in Derby.

Good evening Helen, many thanks for your interest. Grandma was born and baptised in Attercliffe, but neither of her parents were Sheffielders. Her father came from Retford and her Mom from Eyam. All my aunt's and uncles were baptised in Sheffield, all in different churches except the two youngest who were baptised at St Stephens in Netherthorpe,but they were then settled near St Philips Road. Thanks again Val
