I'm looking for the parish records which may tell me more info about the marriage of George Dransfield to Mary Kilner in 1895. I've found them in the Marriage indexes for the 1st qtr od 1895, but this doesn't tell me which Mary Kilner George married. I believe it is the daughter of Janet Kilner and poss. Chappell (although she was born before their marriage). But a family relative says he was told it was a different Mary. Mary was born in Hoylandswaine which comes under the area of Wortley, which agrees with the national register, but I can't find where the parish registers might be that could give me the name of the bride's father, to help confirm which Mary. I know this is a common name in the area, not sure if it comes under Sheffield or Barnsley. Any help much appreciated. Thank you

Hi,

If they are not at Sheffield Archives it could be Penistone.

Check this out.

Thank you for your very quick reply. This is the family which I believe is the correct Mary. I was always happy that this was correct. George and Mary were my maternal grandmother's parents, which is why I wanted to know if I had the correct Mary. Although I don't know for sure that Alfred was Mary's father, that is the family which I believe are my ancestors.
Thank you for the information about the Penistone Archive site. I saw the picture of Alf Chappell the nail maker and hoped he could have been my family member.

Oddly enough I have many links with Hoylandswaine in my tree. My paternal grandmother, Rachel Hudson, also came from there, on the census of 1911, they were at the Lord Nelson Inn in Hoylandswaine, where her father, Walter Hudson was landlord. Rumour has it that he drank himself to death, Grandma was tea-total all the time that I knew her. Even my dad drank very little.

I have the Chappell/Kilners from 1881 to 1911, but no earlier yet.
Thank you again for your help.
