SUSANNA OXSPRING, wife of John Hammerton, Rotherham/Greasbrough area
« on: Tuesday 17 January 17 19:50 GMT (UK) »
Hello all,

I would really appreciate some help finding out more about SUSANNA, who married John Hammerton at Rotherham on 29th November 1779. They had several children, all baptized at Greasbrough;
- Ann, bap 8 Dec 1780
- John, bap 19 Dec 1784
- Stephen, bap 5 Apr 1789
- William and Thomas, bap 5 Jun 1791
- Thomas, bap 29 Sep 1793
- Richard, bap 11 Feb 1797
- Elizabeth/Betty, bap 14 Jan 1798

On the marriage of Susanna to John Hammerton, Susanna's maiden name is said to be OXSPRING.

I found what I believe to be her burial record on FamilySearch (only the transcript), which suggested she was buried in 1831 in Greasbrough/Rotherham. The burial record also suggested a birth year of about 1758, but I can't seem to find any Susanna Oxspring's baptized. So that led me to believe she may have been married previously (so Oxspring wasn't her maiden name), but I haven't managed to find a possible marriage of Susanna to an Oxspring yet.

Help and advice would be greatly appreciated,
Holly

Thank you Brian, but whereabouts on the page should I be looking as this links me to the main Rotherham page? :)
