Hi Garen,
Thanks for the link to the newspapers archive,il have a look when i get a chance (son keeps goin on pc).The articles you typed out were very interesting and make the people seem more real somehow rather than just a name in history.sounds as if some of the Sherriffs were right scoundrels and there would probaly be a lot of descendants to apologise to,lol!!!
I have noticed that Sherriff is a hard name to find cus in searches it brings up the Sherriff of a county instead of someone with the surname Sherriff,lol.
To be honest,i havent got much info on the ppl in our family tree,alot of it is from either Henry Dry Bread or from ancestory.I honestly dont know where to look for info apart from ancestory,free bmd,free cen & family search.
 Id love to be able to put faces to names but unfortunatly my Grandad & his family never had any old pictures & have not been able to find any on romany genes etc..
Anyway,better go as son wants to go on facebook again.
Best Wishes
Shaz  :D

Hi all,sorry iv not been on here for abit.Iv kinda run out of steam on the Sherriff tree at the moment so been havin a break from it.
Garen,i think it was my uncle that got in touch with you (my auntys husband Roger).You have a great website,my trees on ancestory.Great newspaper clippings,i wouldnt even know where to start.Any tips would be greatly apprechiated!!!

Julie,in the Sherriff family many of the people named there kids after their siblings,so you will find there are probaly quite afew Abrahams etc.Its just trial and error in finding the right one.As Garen said,they changed names & intermarried,anyone older was called uncle & anyone the same age was brother or sister.Also sometimes they were born in one place but not registered until in another place or sometimes the births were registered in several districts.The Romanys of yonder deffinatly didnt make it easy for us to find them etc,lol!!!
I just wish my grandad was still alive to ask.

My grandad use to go to Evesham with his family when he was young.
Just because you dont recognise any1 in my tree,you could still be family.As you can see,iv only really concentrated on my direct line.To be honest,id be suprised if your not related some where along the line as the name Sherriff is not that common,exspecially in the Romany lines.
Let me know any info you have about your family & il see if i can place them in my tree somewhere.

Hi,to the best of my knowledge Abraham had 1 son Matthew & 2 daughters Myra & Louisa.Im not saying that there wernt more children tho as 3 seems quite a small number for a gypsy family but i havent found anymore as of yet.Abrahams grandchildren on Matthews side are Reginald,Matthew,Alfred,Dennis and Bella.I havent yet managed to find out who Myra & Louisa were married to or about Children yet.
Abraham was one of 14 children (Alfred,Francis,Oati,Joseph,William,Perrin,Thomas,Matilda,Uriah,Loreni,Eldri,Mary & Hope being the other 13).
I have a family tree on Ancestory if you send me ur email addy i will send you an invite to it so you can see for urself if ur part of this family.My name on Ancestory is shazza_3197 & the trees called Sherriff (Romany Gypsy) Family Tree.

Hi all,i wondered if anyone was related to the Sherriff family from Warks & surrounding areas?My family line goes Reginald Sherriff B:1921 Warks...Matthew Sherriff B:1880 staffs m Annie Morgan 1900 Warks...Abraham Sherriff 1851 Chester m Delilah Smith 1850...William Sherriff 1814 Redditch m Mary Ann Tracey Boswell 1806 Leicestershire...Edward Sherriff abt1779 m Mary Hart ...George Sherriff m Susannah Palmer.

I have read the Henry Dry Bread book & its given me some great info but unfortunatly none of me direct descendants are mentioned so it seems there was a parting of the ways with Henrys g g grandad Hope & his brother (my ggg grandad Abraham).

I have scoured the internet for any info but seem to of drawn a blank as the Sherrriff family isnt well documented.I know that my Grandad was still traveling with his family until around 1930 when they moved into a house in Staffordshire.

Any info is greatly apprechiated!!
Thanks for reading.
Shaz :O)
