My great, great grandmother was Elizabeth Linneker born in Norton, Derbyshire (now in South Yorkshire) in 1838, married George Cutts in 1862 and died in 1868 a few months after the birth of my great grandfather Arnold Cutts. Quite a few of her siblings and her aunts and uncles (and other relatives a bit more distant) were married to people called Bingham, also from Norton. As children are born in families over a period of about 20 years and names are repeated in families and generations I was getting myself tied up in knots trying to work out who was married to who, especially as some married the sibling of a deceased spouse. So I wondered if anyone else has already traced the Linneker (sometimes Linacre or Linaker) or Bingham families and can help me out.

Have you used the surname interests link, below (under Your Tools), to see if others share those surnames?

Thanks, I didn't know about that. But no joy. The only people with an interest are searching in a different part of the country.

Have you tried Sheffield Indexers? http://www.sheffieldindexers.com/ParishBaptismIndex.html
There's quite a bit on St James church at Norton.
Is this your Elizabeth?

Yes that's my Elizabeth. She's not much of a problem, but her sisters Mary and Jane both married people called Bingham as did their aunt and possibly others.
