I have a *******y Bond Notice for Henry Swain(e) 17 January 1840 for a female child born on or about 5th August 1838 to Mary Horsfield. 1841 ( Spout House Ecclesfield with father Benjamin Horsfield) gives Mary Horsfield aged 27 with a Rachael aged 2 ( so assuming this Rachael is Henry Swain's child.
1844 Malin Ibbotson married this Mary Horsfield and they had Levi Ibbotson 1845 & Charlotte Ibbotson 1847. Baptism records (on this site) give the following at same abode (cote) baptised on 26 Sept 1847, St Nicholas...
Charlotte Ibbotson, Mary & Mailing (Malin)
Rachael Horsfield, Mary..Spinster
Ann Horsfield, Mary..Spinster
Morgan Horsfield, Mary..Spinster
Levi Ibbotson was baptised earlier on 6th Sept 1847, Mary & Mayling
The 1851 Bradfield does show Malin Ibbotson along with daughter Charlotte Ibbotson and Ann & Morgan Horsfield.
I have had a further look at the *******y record on Bradfield Archives but could not find anything on Ann & Morgan Horsfield. so wondering who there father is?
Sorry if this is long winded but any help appreciate .

Re: *******y Bond. Henry Swain(e) & Mary Horsfield
When Ann married in 1859 she named her father as Maling Horsfield, labourer.
When Rachel Horsfield married in 1861 she named her father as Benjamin Horsfield, Farmer (ie her grandfather)

Many thanks for info. This lot seemed to play with there surnames. Just found Morgan Horsfield's 1920 probate...under Morgan Horsfield Ibbotson, New Laiths Brigholmlee Bradfield
Re: *******y Bond. Henry Swain(e) & Mary Horsfield
Very interesting story in the Sheffield Daily Telegraph 1875. It seems Rachel Horsfield after she married Benjamin Day in 1861 eloped with a John Fisher in 1875 and during a Court Case regarding the said John Fisher, Benjamin Day said he was not sure his first wife was dead before he married Rachel...so the Court Case had to look into Benjamin's posible Bigamy (Benjamin had married a Eliza Sanderson in 1864)
