Hi, West Bar is right in the middle of Sheffield and was the name of part of a large thoroughfare in and out of the City. Ebenezer Square is not shown on any of the early maps I have but I suspect it is nearby. I am sending you a map off line which shows the church in an orange square at the bottom of the map and West Bar at the top. This church was the Parish Church of St. Peter, where they probably married Stoney Middleton is a small village in North Derbyshire and about 12 miles from Sheffield. If you find him on the census it will show his job and that may have been why he moved to Sheffield. Altholugh she was born in Wiltshire she may have come to Sheffield to work in the Cutlery business which had several jobs for women. West Bar is fairly close to the area where all the workshops and cutlers were based. Try and find him in the census for 1861 or 1871 and it will show you. JUDY ELKINGTON [N.
