Well you've woken me up from my slumber on my own family tree with your question. Having started looking at my own ancestry I came to a halt with Matthew Needham who married Elizabeth Worral in Sheffield in 1768. You might ask why am I telling you all this? In trying to find out who were Matthew's parents and where he was born I generated a lot of data about the Needham's and decided to publish it so that others could benefit from a compendium of data on the Needham family. So, I built a website and eventually registered what I'd done with the Guild of One Name Studies. I am the administrator of the One Name Study of the Needham's and all the work I've done can be found on: https://www.needham.one-name.net
This includes a transcription of baptism, burials and marriages up to at least 1837 in a large number of Parishes including many in Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Cheshire and Staffordshire plus transcriptions of wills and memorials/gravestones, family trees, archive references etc. Most of this data I've transcribed by looking at the original images. This includes data from Sheffield and Rotherham. There are a large number of trees on the site and all of these can be found on Ancestry.
To answer your question. John Needham 1819-1875 f George Needham m Catherine Martin had I believe two brothers Joseph and George and three sisters: Ellen, Sarah and Elizabeth; no Matthew. Now John's father George (1797 - ?) had five brothers including a Matthew (1812-1877); so it could be he who is the witness at John's wedding. But there is a second possibility. John's father George was the son of Matthew Needham (1774-1844) and Elizabeth Lee so he could be the witness you are seeking
As it happens John's grandfather Matthew (1774-1844) is the son of Matthew Needham (1745?-1787) and Elizabeth Worral who are my 4xgreat grandparents. So we are related. But I will always say that you need to check all this as I could have made a mistake.
My family tree is on the website:https://needham.one-name.net/webtrees_new/index.php?route=/webtrees_new/tree/SheffieldNGN
or Ancestry. If you have an Ancestry account let me have your user name and I'll make you a guest.
Hope this helps
