Beighton was historically a parish in Derbyshire, but was incorporated into the then County Borough of Sheffield, and therefore transferred to the West Riding of Yorkshire, in 1967 (as the Wikipedia article on Beighton Ward says), and to South Yorkshire in 1974. However, from the 1830s it was in Rotherham Poor Law Union (and thus Registration District) which was otherwise in Yorkshire. The parish registers are in Sheffield Archives. I have done some research on an Ellis family, mostly Quakers, who were in Beighton in the 18th century. -- Chris Pitt Lewis --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
