Hi Carole,

Thanks for your reply. I'm looking for the records (Baptisms, Marriages and Burials) starting about 1880, going backwards, but I'm especially looking for baptisms about 1790 in Ecclesfield, as I'm looking for ones that I think are probably there, but are not on the IGI.

Do you know that you can download the Ecclesfield baptisms 1599-1904 for £6 50 from GENfair. Transcribed by Sheffield and District Family History Society

Please, does anyone know if the original parish registers for Ecclesfield contain more information than the transcriptions produced by the Sheffield District FHS? It's just that I've got the following marriage in Ecclesfield, from the latter:

Matthew Allin  and  Ann Eaton on 6/7/1807

and just wondered if the original register might contain further information, especially where both parties were from etc?
Thanks,
James

The births are a full transcription of the register, whereas the marriages are an index.

The original entry for the marriage MAY give you the parish they were from and there might be a clue with the two witnesses. It should also state whether by Banns OR License. If it is by License and this has survived then there might be further clues there.

Thanks very much for that Angela, I just hope that some kind soul might be able to do me a quick look up, which might contain more information.
