Hi there,
I am trying to find out more about my Grandfather, Walter SHERRATT. So far I know that his father's name was John. He was called a 'showman' and I presume he was also a traveller of some sort, certainly in his younger days.
I have posted on the Traveller board and have been given lots of wonderful info about my grandmother, but nobody seems to know anything about the SHERRATTS.
I am pretty sure he was born in 1900 (from death and marriage cert) and was located in the East of England. There are two likely candidates, both born in the first quarter, one is for Wellingborough (Sherratt) and the other for Leicester (Sharratt).
I have been trying to see if I can find both of these Sherratt families in the 1901 census to see if either looks likely (ie father John, family travellers of some sort). If I find the family I feel pretty sure I can spot if they are likely to be the right ones.
So far I haven't had much luck. I think the number of variants isn't exactly helping. (Sherritt, Sherrod, Skarrat, the list goes on!) All the Walters I found in 1901 are not young enough.
Can anyone find Walter in Leicestershire for me? 
Thank you
Cindy

Thank you Pauline,
that was fast 
Unfortunately not the correct family, but at least I can now cross this Walter off the list! (the one in Wellingborough no-one can find for me... so looks like I'll have to go for that one and hope for the best  )
Cheers
Cindy
