Hello Rachel

Welcome to Rootschat- do you want to be a bit more specific with your request.Full names of who you want ,birth years,and what are you looking for.  Birth Marriage or Death's or census records?

The 1871 census is not easy for Yorkshire but usually one or more of us can find most other years.

Happy Hunting,

Carol

Hi  :)

William Whitaker is who i'm trying to find at the moment and i'm definately stuck!
He was married to Mary Ann unknown surname. They most likely had many children but the son i know of is Frederick Whitaker b.1848 and he was married to Sarah Ann Senior on 25/12/1868 (Daughter of William Senior).
Frederick and Sarah had 12 children and lived in the Ecclesall Bierlow area of sheffield. All the family were cutlers.
William Whitaker was present at Frederick's wedding and it states his occupation was, file manager.

Hope that made sense  :-\

Rachel  :D

The othe bugger is the parish  (St Mary's) the rest of the whitaker's belonged to wasn't opened until 1830 so i'm currently searching other churches in the area.
