Hi
I was hoping someone may be able to help me with a brickwall please. One of my ancestors was John Toothill who was born circa 1742. He married in Sheffield in 1769. I am almost certain that he had a brother named Richard Toothill who married in Sheffield in the same year. They both had children and lived their lives in Sheffield. From what i can work out the two Toothill brothers look like they were from Hathersage. Richard baptized in 1741 to Richard and Rachel. My problem lies with John. There is a John baptized in Hathersage with the same parents in 1740 but he also appears in the burial register not long after. I was wondering if the couple had another John but his baptism for some reason i cannot find. From his burial record his age adds up to him being born circa 1742 so it could be possible that they had another John after having Richard.
Hope i haven't confused you.
Any help much appreciated
Thanks
Richard
