Hello listers. I recently received the marriage certificate for John Martin DICKINSON and Matilda GOODINSON. The date was 18 November, 1872 and the church is St. Thomas, ?Crookes? in the Parish of Sheffield, vicar Charles ?Coombe?. I would be grateful for information on the actual location of this church and an explanation of Crookes. Also John's residence was Broomhill and Matilda's Verdon Street, Spitel Hill. I would be most interested to know where in Sheffield are/were these two addresses. One of the witnesses was a Robert NEWTON, unknown to me, but this may be of interest to others. Your advice would be greatly appreciated. Nancy Watson Sydney, Australia
Hi Nancy, Crookes is a district of Sheffield about 2.5 km West of the city center. Verdon Street is to the North of the river Don. You can get more information by entering "Crookes, Sheffield" into Google. There is also an account of the churches of Sheffield on GENUKI, I think but I dont know if there are details of the ministers. The church has its own website that comes up on the Google serch and includes details of where it is. good luck, Peter Lee ---------------------------------------- > From: nwatson4@matra.com.au > To: eng-sheffield@rootsweb.com > Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2009 12:47:01 +1100 > Subject: [SHEFF] Dickinson marriage certificate > > Hello listers. > > I recently received the marriage certificate for John Martin DICKINSON and Matilda GOODINSON.
