Note: The marriage took place in the June quarter 1843 BURKITT Mary HIDES Matthew Sheffield Vol22 Page429

Brownell Street in the Netherthorpe area of Sheffield. The houses shown are 40 - 52 just prior to their demolition

Note There is a record in the IGI Index for a MATTHEW HIDES on 16 April 1813  at St Peters Church Parish Church now Sheffield Cathedral (Batch No.: C007752 Dates: 1813 - 1814 Source Call No.:0919328 Film 6909644 ) His father and mother are listed as ROBERT and SUSANNAH HIDES. I am not totally sure that this is Susannah's father but given his mother's name it does seem more than likely. If that is the case then they were married in the same church as which their son Matthew was christened

ROBERT HYDES Marriages: Spouse: SUSANNAH TIMM
