Booths of shefield

[Richardcasey]

We are researching a Thomas and Ann Booth of Sheffield circa 1740-1850.They had at least two sons - Thomas baptised dec 20 1799 St peters cathederal -and Luke baptised  1792 st peters cathederal. We do not know if there are more children of Thomas and Ann. Son Thomas went on to marry Lydia wilson 1822 at st peters cathederal and became known for his many business interests in Hanley Staffordshire   Son luke went on to own a cutlery business and died young in 1855 in Sheffield which his son and wife Elizabeth continued to operate.
We would like to find out more about Thomas sr and his wife Ann(nee unk). Would the records of marriage still be at st peters if that is where they were married.? Is there any way to search those early records other than coming across the big pond ourselves  or is ther anyway to find someon to do a lookup?  -----------------------------

Hi,

Even "across the pond" you can view some records at your nearest LDS family History Centre.  If you go to www.familysearch.org and click on the "Library" tag at the top, underneath will be "Family History Centres".  If you click on this you should be able to find if there is a centre located near you.   If there is go to "Family History Library Centre" Type Sheffield in the place box and England in the "part of" box.  From there go to  Sheffield (second option down).  It should then bring up a list of all films that the LDS have.  I think St. Peters will be the Parish Church of Sheffield and not actually named.

So for instance, scroll down to Bishops Transcripts for 1608 - 1828 Church of England Parish Church of Sheffield and click it.  In the top right hand corner you will see "View Film Notes".  Click on this and it will give you the film numbers that you can order from your nearest LDS Centre.  They charge a small fee for each film and it is kept there for you to view for approximately three weeks .
