Hi Denise

My father is descended from Frederick and Anns third child Mary Ann who is my fathers Grandmother. She married Joseph Sladdin in Halifax on 21/8/1876 and they had eight children so big familes run in the family! My Dad was told about his Grandmother taking his mother (Jessie Sladdin, their youngest) to visit relatives in Askern, Doncaster. He also mentioned that his Grandmother (Mary Ann) was brought up in a pub. He seems to think that John Street is no longer there, apparently it was slum property. Do you still live in Halifax? My Dad grew up there but now lives in Ireland. ** I would love to hear from you again. You seem to have found a lot of extra info. like the fact that Frederick died in a workhouse, which is sad.

That is amazing that we are looking at the same person and cerificate.  According to my records Frederick Lent is my fathers great great grandfather, through his daughter Mary Ann Lent. I would love to hear what your findings are. We might indeed be related!

I have a marriage cert. from 1844 which I am (still) having problems reading the names on. The church is given as Sheffield Parish Church. Can anyone enlighten me as to which church this might be and if it would help me by writing to them and asking if they could check their records?

Hi everyone. I have just joined Webchat and am hoping that someone more experienced than me can help! I have a copy of a marriage cert. from 1844 but cannot make out the forenames of the two fathers. Without these I cannot go back another generation. I would be very grateful if someone could have a look at the attached cert. and let me know what they think! Many thanks
