Hi Barry

I've found another couple of marriages for a Martha Marsden with father William Marsden:

Martha Marsden age 24 - New George St - father William Marsden - Blacksmith
married James Oldham age 26

28 Nov 1858 - St Marys, Bramall Lane


Martha Marsden age 20 - Ecclesall - father William Marsden - Labourer
Married James Ainscough age 23

24 Oct 1853 - St Peter and St Paul Cathedral

Could it be one of these instead??

Re: Martha Marsden's father

Could you tell me if Sarah Berry was a widow when marrying William Marsden 22 February 1823 please.

Re: Martha Marsden's father

Yes Sarah was a widow.

Hi Barry,
Hope the following is helpful to you:

1861 Census-Blagden Street Sheffield
Bernard Cunningham (coal miner) age 31 born Ireland
Martha Cunningham (wife) age 25 born Sheffield
Bernard Cunningham (son) age 2 born Sheffield
Sarah Marsden (mother in law) age 66 born Birmingham

Baptism at St.Marie's RC Church Sheffield
Bernardus Cunningham bapt: 15th August 1858

Parents: Bernardi Cunningham (father)

I have not been able to track down the Lee connection to the Marsden family, maybe they adopted Martha..??
