Sheffield, "a parish comprising the market town of Sheffield, the chapelries of Attercliffe and Ecclesall-Bierlow, the townships of Nether Hallam, and Upper Hallam, and the hamlet of Darnall, in the southern, and the township of Bright-side-Blerlow in the northern, division of the wapentake of Strafforth and Tickhill, West riding of the county of York...

Although two early (pre-1700) Combs are found in Sheffield, this parish is predominantly Archdale. Sheffield is only five mi. south of Ecclesfield where the Archdales "are said to have been" kin to the COWELL family of Dungworth Storrs. No early Archdales are found in Ecclesfield, but Combs are, including naming patterns with Sheffield, whereas Archdale names in Sheffield match those of the children of John Archdale of Staffordshire (go figure!). See also Rotheram, less than six mi. northeast of Sheffield, and where, again, both Combs and Archdales are found.
