Smiths from Sheffield

[Rosedale]

Hi,

I'm searching for a Smith family from Sheffield.

James George Smith would have been born in Sheffield, Yorkshire in around 1838.
He married Sarah Ann Fox in Aston, Warwickshire in 1865 and named his father as a John James Smith.  I'm not sure of his father's occupation listed on the marriage certificate, and have attached a copy of the record below - any help on what this occupation is would be appreciated.

I can't find James George in the 1861 census, but I believe that he may be listed on the 1851 census with his family in Ladywood, Warwickshire, and his father John is listed there as a Britannia Metal Smith Worker.
(Class: HO107; Piece: 2051; Folio: 259; Page: 8)
In 1841 that family are listed as living on Burnt Tree Lane in Sheffield (James is listed as Jas.)
(Class: HO107; Piece: 1335; Book: 14; District: 33; Folio: 21; Page: 2)

If this is the correct family that I think I've found, I know that John James' wife would have been called Eliza Midgley born 1814 from North Leverton in Nottinghamshire (I ordered one of the other children's birth certificates to verify).

Unfortunately I can't find a marriage betwen a John Smith and an Eliza Midgely...
Also, I would love to find John James Smith's birth which would have taken place around 1814 in Sheffield, Yorkshire and to somehow verify James George's birth.

Any help with this family would be appreciated, and if you're also related to either this Smith family or the Midgley line please get in touch.

Thanks

Lisa

On the marriage entry John James Smith's occupation is "Contractor" and James George is a French Polisher
The family you have found seem to be the best possibility - but occupations don't seem to sit right with those on the marriage cert
