Hello all.
I am wondering if anyone can help me please?
I am looking for the marriage of Edward Alcock and Eliza Maria Morrisroe in Sheffield in 1895. I am trying to find out which Church they were married in. Their denomination was Roman Catholic.
They were both born in County Sligo Ireland, Edward in 1863 and Eliza Maria in 1865. They came over to Sheffield and after their marriage they lived on Danville Street, Pitsmoor, West Brightside. They both died at 48, Catherine Road, Pitsmoor, West Brightside, Edward in 1926 and Eliza Mara in 1938 and they were both buried at City Road Cemetery Sheffield in Grave Number 4713.
I would be very grateful for any help to put the final piece in the puzzle!!!
With many thanks.

Sorry but I have just noticed it is saying it is the banns but there is only the one date, there should be 3 for banns. There is also an address of 11 School Lane Park for Edward but none for Maria
It is a shame that Sheffield indexers don't appear to have transcribed it.

Hello rosie99
Thank you very much for the extra information. I wondered if it might be St Marie's but honestly thought it would be a RC Church nearer Pitsmoor. It's a shame the Banns haven't been fully transcribed. It is a coincidence that Edward's address was 11, School Lane, Park because some of my English Ancestors lived in that area at Spice Shops on School Lane Park area. If Edward was at that address I wonder where Eliza Maria was? She sailed to Philadelphia in 1888 when she was 23 years old to stay with an aunt I think but when some of her brothers came to Sheffield she returned. They dropped the "roe" because they thought they would prosper better if they didn't identify as Irish. Not sure who the witnesses were though.
Thank you very much for your help.

St Marie's became the cathedral for the new diocese of Hallam sometime in the 1970s I recall. Before that Sheffield was in the Catholic diocese of Leeds.

Hello MollyC
Thank you for the information on when Saint Marie's Church became a Cathedral. That is something I didn't know.
Regards.
