The Common Room / Re: Needham's of Sheffield
« on: Thursday 03 March 22 15:18 GMT (UK)  »
Wow! Thank you Nigel for assisting with taking my family tree back to the 1700's! It was when I was looking at your RootsChat posts and noticed the name Matthew, that I thought that there could be a link between the Matthew that I had found and the Matthews in your tree. It was a bit of a Wildcard really, but to then to find that we are related is great! My grandmother was Rhoda Needham from Barnsley who married John Thomas Killingbeck.  I have been using the Genealogist site, but it doesn't seem to generate as much information as Ancestry. I have joined Ancestry on a free trial, but am still finding my way round it and haven't really got to grips with it yet!  I really hope that I don't find that Ellis Needham was one of my ancestors! Many thanks for replying!
Pat

I am researching the Needham family from Barnsley, who came from Sheffield to start an iron foundry there.  My ancestor is a John Needham, b1820, who lived in Queen St, and married a Harriet Twibey at Sheffield Parish Church on Feb 2nd 1841. Their witnesses were George Needham (molder) b1798 who was John's father and a Matthew Needham (from Sheffield Indexers website). I am wondering if Matthew was John's brother and the family originally came from Derbyshire and are linked to the Needham families that you have been researching?

Thanks for your information, which is very clear.  What has thrown me is this illegitimate child of Rhode.  On the site that I use he is listed as Edward (b1869) Grandson.  When I looked carefully at the original his name is George H, Grandson. Possibly the site which I use doesn't give as much info. as some of the others.   :)

Thank you all for taking the trouble to try to help me with my search.  I have now established that the person I thought was Sarah was actually Leah, married to a man with the name John who was a miner.  Someone called "Big Bazza" from Wales investigated some of this several years ago now and raised his concerns about Sarah.  He is descended from the same family.  I don't know if he still uses this site.  So it looks like I now need to try to unravel the Rhode/Harry/George mystery!  ::) ???

Your info regarding the name Leah looks correct.  When I looked at the original transcript the name looks more like Leah than Sarah.  That has answered one question.  Now I have to sort out details around Harry Needham (b. 1854)! ???

The last reply is not possible due to the ages of Rhode and Harry!

In 1851 I don't think he was listed as being with Sarah.

Harry Needham was born in 1854 according to 1871 Census so Rhode couldn't have been his mother as she was born in 1849.  He is listed as son in law, which is strange as John and Harriet didn't have a daughter according to my records?
