Whilst my Grandparents lived all their married lives in Malin Bridge in Ecclesfield, and my father grew up in that parish, as family history research began, its soon became clear, that our branch of the Sanderson family came from Bradfield.
When the church in Bradfield was first established, c1109, it was as a Chapel of Ease to St Mary’s Church Ecclesfield, until 1868. Bradfield then became a Parish in its own right.

To research the Sanderson family connections in this area, it became obvious that all the local parish registers would need to be checked aswell.
A number of family marriages took place in Ecclesfield, being the parish of the bride. In other cases, Sanderson boys from Bradfield were apprenticed to masters in Ecclesfield, and as industrialisation gathered pace in the area, others moved out for work.
