Should be HITCHEN.

Hi Pete,

The transcription we have in our Database was given to us many years ago and I do not have the original material to check that her name should be Hitchin.

However looking at Family Search ours reads the same.

FamilySearch has 3 records of the Paul Ashley marriage 1830 Rotherham. Two have the bride as Kitchen and one has Hitchen

One that is viewable at home is film 007561576 (image 241). This is a printed book Yorkshire Marriage Registers, Rotherham 1830 published in 1915 and it is of course a transcription and not the original record.

It has: Paul Ashley, of Sheffield, & Ann Kitchen, p. R., lic. 30 Apr

The record in their England, Yorkshire, Parish Registers, 1538-2016 (“Kitchen”) probably has an image of the register but you need to be at a Family Search Center (sic) or at a partner site (some libraries are partners) to view it.

I remember the name causing some problems when we transcribed a document.

Kitchen is a name in Sheffield.

I think I also saw a baptisms in Sheffield around 1809 for Ann Kitchen.

Elaine.

I have had a look at the original on FMP and to me it is definately Hitchen.
The writing is how we were taught back in the day. There is the first downward stroke
with a very small loop on the right hand side at the bottom, then the long stroke from the bottom
left up across to the top right and then the downward stroke to the bottom.

Just hope you can understand the above.

Moira.

I’ve looked at the original and I agree with Moira. It’s definitely Hitchen.
There was a shop in Attercliffe called Hitchen’s, so the name isn’t totally alien in Sheffield.

After looking at HITCHEN records for Sheffield there are very few all seem to sprout from a Charles c1764.

Hannah seems to have been shortened to Ann, they are at Watsons Walk 1841.

Hi guys,

In a quandary as to what to do here.

I can not turn up the marriage that I see took place in Rotherham 1830.

The entry in Phillimore marriages is Kitchen as is the Bishops transcript for the licence.

However on a sons baptism Charles at SPC he is Charles Hitchin Ashley.

Arrgh.

Elaine.

Edit. Found it further down the page.......

Looks like Hitchen but I don't think its her signature. looks the same as Paul's??? And the clerks.So a double Arrgh. Must try and find the baptism for Ann I found the other evening.
