Could anyone tell me who's hallmark consists of a block, religious type, cross sitting on a horizontal block with a cicle around it?

This sounds like a silverplate mark of Barker Bros. Silver Co., Inc. of New York City and Birmingham, England.

The same mark was also registered at the Sheffield Assay Office (in 1821) by Blagden, Hodgson & Co.

Sorry, don't know the current status of either company. You might want to try the Sheffield or Birmingham Assay Offices. They both have web sites with contacts and E-mail addresses.
