Indexes to Marriages in Sheffield 1735-1851

These marriage indexes concern the records of four churches that were all in central Sheffield.

  • St Peter & St Paul (Cathedral): October 1735-November 1851
  • St James: April 1849-December 1940
  • St Jude: August 1855-1938
  • St Paul: August 1848-1937

St Peter & St Paul was the parish church of Sheffield and the place where local marriages were conducted before other parishes were created in the nineteenth century.  It is the only one of the four churches still standing.  St James was a tiny church that stood at the end of St James Street very near to the parish church.  It was bombed in 1940.  St Jude stood in Cupola, a narrow street off Gibralter Street, down the hill to the north-west of the parish church.  It closed in 1938 and was later demolished.  St Paul was an eighteenth century building that stood on Pinstone Street, at the end of Fargate to the south of the parish church.  It was demolished after it closed in 1937.
