Title: SHORT family - Plymouth
Post by: Jenny Hastings on Thursday 30 June 05 17:35 BST (UK)
Dear all

I am trying to trace any siblings of my 3x great grandfather, John Grant Short.  He was baptised at Plymouth St. Andrew in 1813, and I think I have a sister (Eliza) also baptised there in 1817.

The parents are John and Hannah (nee Grant) who were married at Stoke Damerel in 1796.  I have tried a website that offers look-ups for Stoke Damerel but there were no likely suspects among the Shorts!  However, I can't help thinking there must have been some older children born between 1796 and 1813.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated!

With all good wishes

Jenny
