I was wondering if anyone is related to the Sperry's from Lockington? I'm trying to find out if the Sperry's from Lockington could be related to the Sperry's from Heather Leicestershire.
I can go back to 1567 with Jacob Sperry from Heather but any other searches around that time keeps bringing up Sperry's in Lockington.

Yes it is very frustrating 
 I have a similar brickwall, which I can't go back on my direct line as I can't find her baptism ( so parents) of one of my ?x grandmothers mid 1700s even though there are lots of written records, such as Wills, land records and business paperwork that 'connect' the  two families.

I have started to research the 'other' family and found primary records taking them back much further and am now researching forward and sideways but still no joy, they are a really interesting family but useless if they don't 'belong' to me.

Only thing I can suggest is you is to research sideways each and every male Sperry.
I met a guy at Grace Road some years ago a James Sperry who was a cricketer.
