Copied from the HINCHLIFFE-UK list, by permission of the sender:- While doing research at the Santa Monica, CA, FHC I ran across a film in a drawer which didn't have the films I was really looking for. Those were parish registers for Yorkshire, and this one (which I seem to have forgotten to jot down the film number for!) listed marriages at Rotherham from 1540 to 1837. Among them were the following: Richard Hinchliffe & Anne Swallow 29 Aug 1642 Richard Hinchcliffe & Anne Austwicke 27 May 1647 Thomas Hinchcliffe & Eliz. Walker 18 Aug 1646 Thomas Hinchliffe & Isabel Letchforth 2 Feb 1659/60 Stephen Hinchliffe & Eliz. Rodes 24 Jul 1661 Brian Hinchliffe & Eliz. Hirst 31 (sic) Nov. 1660 Godfrey Hinchliffe & Ellen Morton (signs to 'Newton') w. 25 Nov 1762 Thomas Collidge (signs to 'Collidg) & Sarah Hinchliff 13 Ap 1789 not entered in B.B. (Banns books from 11 Jan 1789 - 31 Sep 1797) James Hinchcliff & Hannah Stanisforth 15 Dec 1793 I hope this may prove helpful to some of the posters here. The film was a fascinating read in itself, because of all the interesting names, some of which were repeated many times, some appearing only once or twice.
