HENRY (1840 - 1902) and SUSANNAH BLAND nee HIDES (1847 - 1911)
Once I had received the information from my Third Cousin I then began to piece together further details of the family
The 1901 Census confirmed the information I had to date
AGNES SANBY the second youngest daughter of Henry and Agnes SANBY who was named after her mother was married in the December quarter of 1889 (Sheffield GRO Ref Vol 9C - Page784). She married a man called GEORGE BLAND - the 1901 Census shows George and Agnes living at 27 Neepsend Lane, Sheffield with their three young daughters (Ref RG13/4374 - 95 Page18 entry 82)

Brownell Street in the Netherthorpe area of Sheffield. The houses shown are 40 - 52 just prior to their demolition
Note There is a record in the IGI Index for a MATTHEW HIDES on 16 April 1813 at St Peters Church Parish Church now Sheffield Cathedral (Batch No.: C007752 Dates: 1813 - 1814 Source Call No.:0919328 Film 6909644 ) His father and mother are listed as ROBERT and SUSANNAH HIDES. I am not totally sure that this is Susannah's father but given his mother's name it does seem more than likely. If that is the case then they were married in the same church as which their son Matthew was christened
