For many of our early years we worked with Family Search(LDS). We transcribed their material and gave them a copy for allowing us to use it. If it was a church they had filmed they would make a CD giving us a copy for us to transcribe and give them a copy of the transcription. If it was a church they had copied and placed on Fiche they could not transfer the material to a CD. That is why I worked with the fiche. Most of the church material in Sheffield was on FICHE. The quality was very questionable
Don't forget I am in Canada. So no access to Sheffield Archives UNTIL our current photographer Terry Ford came on BOARD to help us. He just about lives at the Archives. LOL.
That means we no longer have to deal with Family Search.
We have quite a Library of material to be transcribed and have three projects in the pipeline at this time.
Hi Sally, You will have to bear with me as "Host Papa" have decided to re vamp their access page and I can't get into it.
Mind you not the swiftest techi in the house. LOL.
First let me say St John's Park was not an easy church to transcribe. I no longer have the originals they were on fiche. Soooooooo unless someone else comes up with another transcription I can't help.
Ellen Woodcock born in 1872 MMN of Ward.
Ellen Woodcock born in 1862 MMN of Gillam.
Rose Ellen you would need to see the original to work it out.
Now to Eliza Hannah Woodcock burial 1895.
She is there in our database.....but unfortunately she was transcribed as Eliza H.
Woodcock.
Note the period which I will remove once I can get into the site and then all should be well.
Elaine, sorry but forsome reason my system will not send emails to you.
The reason Eliza H Woodstock is not linking to her husband on Find Similar in Same grave is because she has a trailing space on the word Norton.

Hi Elaine,
Gillam is the correct mmn. They were married at Rotherham All Saints', 18 Jul 1845. I can see four possible local Woodcock/Ward marriages from 1866 back to 1851 so the other birth could be from any of those. As I said, the age at burial is consistent with Ann being too old. I presume the fiche are at Sheffield Archives so I will try to get to see those and report back in due course. (I usually only get to Sheffield on Fridays when they are closed but will try to organise another day.)
Well I seem to have winkled out a spurious period and a trailing space! So it was a worthwhile exercise. Many thanks.
Sally
