Whiting family
« on: Wednesday 02 September 09 20:29 UTC (UK) »
I have documents showing John Ernest Whiting (born abt 1880) marrying Mary Ellen Bishton (born abt 1887) on 19 March 1908 at The Paris Church, Darnall, Sheffield.  The marriage certificate gives John Whiting as the father of John Ernest, but I cannot verify this as I don't seem to be able to find a birth certificate/record for a John Ernest in 1880.  The family ran a fairground and wintered in Sheffield on Penistone Road.  This is my father's family, so that bit I am certain about.  But it gets fuzzy as to who my great grandfather is.  I can find a Samuel Whiting with a son John born 1883 in Chesterfield and a William Whiting with a son John born 1880 in Chesterfield.  As I'm not sure where my grandfather came from, I feel quite stumped really.  John Ernest died in 1946 and I've been to his grave in Darnall, Sheffield and I am hoping to go to the Sheffield Fairground Archives later this month to look at the 1946 Worlds Fair to see if that shed any light on anything. Any help would be appreciated.
