John Robert Sherratt's Family
« on: Thursday 22 September 05 11:57 BST (UK) »
Help!!

I am trying to trace my the family history of my grandad's step brother John Robert Sherratt.

John was born in Hartington in 1900, died in 1977 and is buried in Hartington Church with his wife Irene who was born circa 1907 and died in 2000.  The grave stone mentions their son Jeffery.

Who was Irene?? I have tried the church records to no avail and don't know where to look next.

Similarly when was Jeffery born?? is he still alive, what is his story??

Did John and Irene have any other children??  The questions could go on for ever.

Can anyone in the land of RootsChat shed any light on this side of my family??

Thanks

Hi Koko

You could try contacting local newspapers that cover Hartington and place an appeal similar to the one you have listed here.  I did this myself recently and i was amazed just how many replies I got from former neighbours, schoolfriends, anonymous people  and distant relatives. It is worth a try.

Happy hunting
Cheers

Hi, Jan,

That's a good idea, I will give it a try.

I may also try putting a card on the local post office window.......the replies will be interesting to say the least!! Wink
