My gt. gt. gt. grandfather William Overend married Hannah Goodlad on 29 November 1813 at Rotherham Parish Church in South Yorkshire. I do not know where either of them were born. They then lived in Sheffield. One of their sons was Frederick (my gt.gt. grandfather) who married Mary Ann (Surname unknown). Their son Joseph was born 1856 and married Ellen (surname unknown). Annie their daughter was my grandmother and married John Henry Jackson in 1904 in Sheffield. She died in 1918 age 36.

I cannot discover where this line of Overends originated as all census records state 'born in Sheffield'. I guess they came from some outlying village in Yorkshire originally.

Any info. would be helpful.
