You may also need to be aware that the Wortley registration area near Penistone was very large, and parts of the north of what I would consider parts of Sheffield fell into Wortley, even though it is miles from Wortley village itself. This is probably because Wortley inherited parts of the Ecclesfield parish at one time. My father's birth which was at Hillsborough, Sheffield in 1926, was registered in Wortley. regards Richard On 11/03/2017 09:01, John Keith Coldwell wrote: > Andy > The difficulty with the Wortley place name is that there is the > District by Penistone and the suburb of Leeds.
