Some of my family were baptised at the Thorncliffe chapel in Ecclesfield in the 1820’s. That is a really nice one, because in addition to giving the parents names it also says who the maternal grandparents were. I wish they were all like that!

Hi Elaine

I live in Chapeltown. To add to the answers given, there's also Greenhead House at the end of Greenhead Lane which I think is from the 17th century.

I've also got family from Ecclesfield so looking forward to when we get to transcribing this parish :smile:

Hi Julia,

Thanks for your reply it all helps.

My Wilson Clan all come from Ecclesfield and area. (Skew Hill) and were file cutters.
Thomas Wilson (Rotherham?) & Sarah Peace (Ecclesfield) were married at St Mary's in 1742.He was a husbandman at that time. They went on to have 10 children all but two surviving infancy

So I must have a number of rellies in that area.LOL.

Elaine.

PS Thomas and Sarah are my 5x great grandparents. My maiden name being Wilson.
