Today I received the marriage certificate of
GEORGE FROST and MARY BURGON
Dec 14th 1843 Sheffield
The information is quite useful as it gives:
George's age - 36
Occupation - Cutler
The fact that he is a widower (I didn't know that)
Where he was living (Sky Edge)
His father - Thomas Frost Labourer
Mary's age - 29
Spinster
Where living - but writing very poor - Glossopsand??
Her father: Josh Burgon Sawyer
From this information I have been able to get Mary's family back to her grandfather Thomas Burgon/Burgan and his wife Hannah Child.
The only infuriating this is the lack of information on the church:
It just says
"Marriage solemnized (word "at" crossed out) by banns in the par of Sheffd in the County of York
Married in the par church according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the Established Church (field left blank) by me John Teague"
I'd like to know the correct church so that I shall be able to view the parish registers. Sheffield is such a big place that I wouldn't know where to look.
Has anyone any ideas?
