Hiya Rosie

Thank you for your reply, I have checked out the 1741 census for Willian Walton, and found out he died in 1844, and there was a will leaving what looks like £400 to Ann Raines his friend and housekeeper.

I also wonder how come she got a plaque in the church?

Hi


I have just looked again at my DNA again, and it looks like I do have matches to Benjamin Marriott and beyond.

So thanks again for your help, much appreciated

Hi Annette and Ruskie

Thank you for your replies, I must say that I sort of wondered how she could be Ann Green at birth and then Ann Marriott. Yes I have the birth certificate and fathers name is blank.

I have done my DNA earlier this year, still trying to understand it, lol but was a good thing as I previously had Ann Marriotts father as Joseph Marriott (made the fatal mistake when I started of believing what I saw) they came from South Normanton and moved to Intake Sheffield, the same as Benjamin. 

But then I began to see Benjamin Marriott in peoples trees and thought we must be connected somewhere. So I have changed Joseph’s details to Benjamin Marriott, (although I’ve just checked my relationship with a match and it’s still showing Joseph Marriott as my 2nd great grandfather, and not Benjamin)

I do have a common ancestor Samuel Marriott and Sarah Riley (Benjamin’s parents)

Thanks again
Chris

Hi Millipede

Thanks for your replies,

Ann was aged 19 on the marriage certificate.

I am certain that Ann Marriott is the one on the census in 1861 as Samuel Hills great grandparents and Benjamin Marriotts grandparents are the same, William Riley and Frances Norwood.

I had previously looked on GRO for an Ann Marriott born 1853 MMN Green, then I found an Ann Green mother No MMN so I sent for that certificate and her mother was Lucy Green no father.

Hi

I have just come across your post today, Amelia Gregg/Craig sister of Robert is my 3rd Great Grandmother, I have recently been researching the family.

I believe Robert was christened at Wath upon Dearne, where Mary Ann Hargreaves family came from, even though on the census it says he was born at Cheshire.

I think our 4th Great Grandfather George Craig is the one buried at Handsworth Church 7/4/1840 age 40, died at Four Lane Ends (there is no record of this death on GRO) so I have just applied to Sheffield Registrar but unfortunately they haven't been able to find any death record. (Gutted)

I have found a George Craig birth 26/11/1898 Attercliffe Father Robert mother Mary.
plus other children listed below
Joseph Craig  1801
Matthew Creag  1803
Robert Creag 1805-1815 (buried Handsworth Church)
Mary Creag 1805
Charles Creag 1808
Benjamin Creag 1809
Thomas Creig 1811
Francis Creig 1813

Just to let you know I got the above information from transcriptions.  A lot of the above names correspond in my case with the next generation.

I see you mentioned a scottish connection, just wondered how you came to this please.

let me know what you think about my finds

Best wishes
Chris
