Re: Eckington and staveley parish record sites.

Good Morning all and thankyou for your replies.

I particularly wanted to see the transcriptions for Staveley as I have a family that was moving from Eckington to Staveley and Dronfield. One branch, the Rother(h)ams are quite well known and not too much of a problem but I am trying to research the wives and mother's on my line and that is where I am struggling. Recently my computer did an update and since then my access to Ancestry has been very difficult. They werent much help, so an outside source is important. Ancestry have Eckington and Dronfield parish registers on line but the search system can be iffy and they only have a few transcriptions for Staveley.

I am trying to research Hannah Collis who married John Rotherham in Sheffield in 1809 and died before the 1841 census, probably buried in 1831 in Dronfield. The couple lived for a while in Dronfield and later in Staveley. I believe that she was the daughter of John Collis born 20 April 1746 in Staveley to Elizabeth Collis and John Handcock. (IGI).

If anyone can go further back I would be grateful.
Thankyou Susan
