I include links to the churches, and perhaps I may be able to visit them at some point.

Sanderson, David
David’s first church, opposite his primary school.
David was a pageboy to the 1947? May Queen. In the late 1940’s early 50’s he was a cub scout and became a ‘sixer’. He attended Sunday School and bible reading classes and was in the youth club until 1953.
St. Cuthbert’s CofE Firvale Sheffield
Sanderson, David
On going to grammar school in 1951, David made friends with several classmates who attended St. Cuthberts and he was invited by his particular friend, (later to become his best man on marriage), to come to the monthly Saturday night dance. All was a success and in 1953 he began to attend the Sunday evening services, which was followed by the youth club. He was a member of the church until he left Sheffield in 1957 to begin his engineering apprenticeship.
St Mary’s, Walkley, Sheffield.
St Mary’s, also known as the church on the road, is where the Gillott family marriages took place. Charles to Mary Ann Moorhouse nee Hinchliffe (1876), George to Louie Saynor (1935), Cyril Long to Doris Gillott (1928) and maybe others not yet confirmed
Sheffield Parish Church, St Peter & St Paul
George Dyson bapt 1810, John Dyson bapt 1777, Sarah Wilde bapt 1790.
Sheffield Cathedral from 1914
The Parish Church of Sheffield has seen the births, marriages and burials of many Sandersons and Gillotts over the ages, but not so many associated directly with our families’ trees. There are references on the church walls to members of our families who died during the World Wars and are referenced elsewhere in this journal.
David sang as an alto in the school choir when it was invited to perform in the Cathedral’s Christmas festival of lessons and carols in 1953.
Marriage -Thomas Sanderson and Mary Ann Siddons / Jonathan Sanderson and Elizabth Barnes.
