Joseph Frith and Elizabeth Atkin

[sgrollitt]

My G-G-G-G-G-grandfather Joseph Frith married Elizabeth Atkin on either 26 November 1720 in Sheffield or 26 November 1722 in Dronfield.

Is anyone related through any of their children:
- John b.1723
- Ann b.1725
- Joseph b.1727 (my G-G-G-G-grandfather)
- Thomas b.1730
- Francis b.1735

I have a George Frith in the same sort of time and place I estimate that he was born about 1730 but have no other details. He had a Son George in Red Hill, Wales, Yorkshire in 1760.

Thomas Frith b.17 Apr 1808, c.22 May 1808 at Howard Street Independent, Sheffield, d.5 Apr 1850 - organist at St Philips between 1840-1843 (his wife was Elizabeth Frith?). Thomas's dad was Thomas Frith and his mum was Rebecca Roberts. They got married on 3 Nov 1806 in Wentworth, Yorks. This Thomas's dad was probably Thomas Frith c.3 Nov 1748 in Wales, Yorks and his dad was George Frith.

I found the following Frith christenings in the IGI in Wales, Yorkshire. All have the father listed as George Frith

ALICE FRITH  - c 25 OCT 1742
WILLIAM FRITH - c 06 APR 1766
THOMAS FRITH - c 03 NOV 1748
MARY FRITH - c 11 MAR 1743
ELIZABETH FRITH - c 14 SEP 1746

'My' George (b 2 Oct 1760, Wales, Yorkshire) isn't listed here, but the data on George came from a family member who has researched this fairly deeply. So, it would appear thay my George and your Thomas are probably brothers.

No that wasn't my family - I found those details and recorded them whilst looking into my Frith family in and around Sheffield.

Anyway, merry Xmas to you too,
Simon

Thanks

Even if we're not from the same Frith families the data adds a bit of bredth to mine.

Merry Christmas
