James Priest marriage to Emily Peckett

Looking for the marriage details of James Priest marriage to Emily Peckett m 1876 in Sheffield. Trying to ascertain James's parentage. I just wondered if the parish registers were on Findmypast.
One possible might be -
Priest James b 1849 — 1876 Yorkshire Marriages
Sheffield, St George, Brook Hill, Yorkshire (West Riding), England
Many thanks
Lyn

Re: James Priest marriage to Emily Peckett

Hi Lyn,

Marriage was 8 June 1876 at St George’s.
Emily (born 26 March 1853, baptized 5 April 1859) was the daughter of George Peckett (a cutler) and Ann Taylor.
James Priest’s father was William Priest, a scissor grinder.
James died around 1890 and Emily then married Henry Bennett in 1894.
She was my grt grt grandfathers sister.

All the best

Re: James Priest marriage to Emily Peckett

Many thanks to you both. When I try to click on someone's email address on this site I don't get an instant response either but it appears in th bottom left corner of the website almost ghost like.
I thought it was because I am still using an old desktop.
Cheers
Lyn
