Samuel Hall narried Sarah Oldham
24th Nov 1788 All Saints Church Laughton en le Morthen.

Trying to find birth and parents of both these.

Mark

To start the ball rolling, marriage was by banns and the original image says that both parties were of that parish and unmarried. One of the witnesses signed her name "Margaet Ollhme" so possibly a sister.

There was a baptism 10 April 1774 Margaret Oldham daughter of William Oldham, farmer.
Also one 17 Nov 1771 Sarah Oldham, daughter of William Oldham farmer.
Both at Laughton En Le Morthen.

Heths

Having said that though, that Margaret would have been a little young to be the witness in 1788 (unless she had a late baptism.)

Heths

Could Margaret who witnessed the wedding have been Sarah's mother?

Hi Mark,

I came up with the same material that Heather stated. (Family Search).

As Laughton en le Morthern comes under Rotherham you might have better luck contacting Rotherham Family History Society.

Hi Mark,

There’s a Samuel Hall aged 85 (agricultural labourer, pauper) living in Laughton en le Morthen in 1851.
If that’s your guy, it says he was born in Brodsworth.

Rotherham fhs does not exist anymore. It closed a few years ago

There used to be a section on here "Other local villages" which I cannot now find.
I sent the following information a few months ago:


"The Rotherham and District Family History Society was wound up, I think due to dwindling numbers and a lack of people willing to take over the committee jobs. Assets were transferred to Doncaster and District FHS, and it is mentioned on their "Shop" page:

Doncaster and District Family History Society | Supplier | GenFair
which leads to a list of Rotherham area publications.
(The Doncaster Society always included in their area the whole archdeaconry which includes Rotherham district parishes of Wath, Swinton, Brampton Bierlow and Wentworth.)"


Also: There are transcripts of a number of Rotherham area parishes on Genuki (but not Rotherham itself) arising out of a former job-creation programme based at Wath. Includes Laughton en le Morthen.

May have come to Sheffield for baptism? Name Samuel Hall
Father's Name Enoch
Father's Sex Male
Mother's Name Sarah
Mother's Sex Female
Event Type Baptism
Event Date 12 Feb 1764
Event Place Sheffield, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom

Thanks Sally for your detailed demise of RFHS.

I had not heard any mention of it but I do remember them splitting from S&DFHS.

Another possible baptism was 26 November 1769 Brodsworth, parents Jonathan and Mary Hall

You can rule out the Samuel baptised 5 July 1767 Barnby Dun (father Richard)
That one died there in 1798 aged 30, and the record mentions his father.

Heths

Thank you all for your help really appreciate this. Didn't know about the Brodsworth connection. I think this must be the right Samuel a farm labourer. I followed the info and got to the same christening 26th Nov 1769.
Parents Jonathan and Mary maiden name Priestley.
Later on in the Hall family Jonathan is used again so looks good. So wonder if they had any connection to Brodsworth Hall.
All very interesting thanks again.

Mark
