    1. BADGER
    2. Hi Has anyone done any research on the BADGER family of Sheffield in the late C18 to early C19. I have a G. Watkinson who died in India, mother of child unknown, who sent his son back to England to the care of the child's Uncle Joseph Badger. Joseph Badger was a painter and glazier and William Watkinson followed in this trade in Pinstone Street. I think that the mother was perhaps a Badger who married Lt. G. Watkinson in Sheffield or in India whilst they were there. Does anyone know where I could search for a marriage to any lady with Badger as a surname in the centre of Sheffield marrying a G. Watkinson. The name Godfrey is in the family but I have no idea what his real name was. I haven't looked at the Georgian church on Pinstone Street, St. Paul's I think. Unfortunately I am unable to visit Sheffield Archives and I wondered if anyone has the records of this church and could look for me. Also if anyone has the 1841 census Joseph Badger was still alive I think and I think his business was in Pinfold Street. If anyone could make any useful suggestions I would welcome them. Hoping with every finger crossed. Judy Elkington
