John Sherry (m to Hannah Kelly) is eluding me at the moment. He said he was born Cadder, LKS but I can't locate him there. It could be that his earliest memories where there.

This is the most likely at the moment on the 1851 Census:

21 Muir Street, Hamilton, Lanarkshire
647 ED 2A Household No. 24

John Sherry, 21, labourer, b. Down, Ireland
Eliza, 30, b. Down, Ireland
John,3, b. Stirlingshire
Margaret, 1, b. Hamilton

Hello John Sherry,

I grew up in Banknock in the 1940s and an (Agnes, I think) Sherry was in my class with our teacher Miss 'Chookie' Morrison at the local Primary School where my father JNK Henderson was headmaster.
An Alex Sherry was in the class about 3 years above me ... and as I recall he was a great footballer .... and I seem to remember that the Sherry family lived along in Coneypark, near Murchies' Farm.
I have a digitised class photo with the Sherry lassie in the front row that you can have if this is your Sherry family.
Cheers,
John Henderson [DDJJAKE on rootschat]

Hi John thanks for your reply I remember reading about your childhood on the net it is great to hear from you I particularly remember you talking about 'bumpy ibrox' the field out the back of your house.

I went to that school for a few years in the early 60's

You are correct about the family staying in Coneypark near murchies farm my parents still live in that area. The Alex Sherry that was good at football is my uncle Alex he played for Airdrie. He also still lives in the area with with his wife Irene.

My Aunt Margaret is in the picture that you mention and I would like a copy of it if possible

hope to speak soon and thanks again

John Sherry

Hi John,

Would you have any Sherrys in Stirling?

There's a stone in Holy Rude Churchyard bearing the following MI:

"Here lie the mortal remains of ISABELLA McQUADE wife of Daniel Sherry, Merchant, Stirling
Who died on the 18th day of February 1854 aged 65 years
JOHN SHERRY died 27th August 1877 aged 50 years
DANIEL SHERRY died 22nd September 1880 aged 89 years
MARY MOONEY wife of Daniel Sherry died 17th November 1907"

Piccy available if it's of interest.

Anne

Thanks to all that have read and assisted with this thread

I visited my dad tonight John Sherry aged about 76 he and my mother Margaret still
live in the area and he loved discussing the roots information.

I also visited My Uncle Alex and aunt Irene they also live in the area and are in their
70's Alex was also very interested. My Uncle Alex is the person that John DJJake mentions
being the good footballer he played for Airdrie son of the Alex Sherry I first mentioned.

Hi John

I'm glad we were all able to help

Do you realise that this has started me doing Matt Busby's tree. I've got his family back to the early 1800s in Ireland so far. It's all very interesting.

Thank you for asking about this
