Arthur Richard Britton, Sible Hedingham, Essex and Sheffield
I'm trying to find out about a great uncle. He was born and brought up in Sible Hedingam, Essex. His occupation was that of Groom. He later moved to Sheffield where he died aged 29. He married Mary Ann Rawson in 1874. He's buried in Wardsend Cemetery. I'm trying to find out why he moved to Sheffield (work I suppose) as the rest of the family stayed in Essex. Also, what he died of at such a young age. Any info. about him or his Sheffield family would be greatly appreciated. Coincidentally I moved to Sheffield from the south 30 odd years ago and was shocked when his burial in Sheffield came up in Ancestry 'hints'.

MARRIAGES
March 22, at the Parish Church, Arthur Richard Britton, ___ier [the word is in the fold] to Mrs. Mary Ann Savage.
The same marriage record is in the Parish Records at the left; a separate search with the bride's name says her father’s name is William Reeder (builder).

Christine, to find his cause of death you need to buy his death cert.
