I have been helped by the indexers and solved a tough one about Sheffield and South Africa
this quest has been even tougher.I was born Sheffield and married my wife near Dudley 1961
My research into her family found her mothers maiden name was ATTWOOD and her G.Grandfather
5 times removed William Attwood b 1749 - d.1823 Lived in Quarry Bank Staffs Kingswinford
Parish, for his 2nd Marriage to a young lady from Ecclesfield Sheffield at saint Mary's
Kingswinford Staffs. 1/5/1797.Alice was c.23 and William c. 42..Alice maiden name was BULLAS
I know she was Bapt at Ecclesfield Parish Church 1774...I know where William is buried BUT
nothing of Alice she being 20years younger??in Quarry Bank where my Wife was born. There
is a street named Sheffield Street and a pub Sheffield inn. The Attwood family in the 1800s
owned plots of land along there. what happened to ALICE ATTWOOD nee. Bullas
Thank you

Hi Patrick

Theres an Alice Attwood - widow - marries a William Petty in 1828 in Long Compton Warwickshire.

Dont know if you've already investigated both of these?
