England / John Shard or Sherd....Birth Help Please!!!!!!!!
« on: Friday 18 January 08 21:08 GMT (UK)  »
 ???

I have a John Shard born about 1776.....not exactly sure where.....but NOT Lancashire.....

He married a Mary Dawson in 1801 in Prestwich....but his surname was spelt as Sherd.....could have been a mis spell.......could have been right ....that we'll never know...

If anyone is able to find a birth probably in the Cheshire area.....I would be most grateful.....
I have been looking for ages now with no luck....I have checked the IGI but none seem to fit...
I'm looking to see if we can find his parents names...

Thanks for Looking

Hi Neil

James was born in 1865 in Lancashire and his son was born in 1895/6 Widnes......

james disappeared off the census after 1881.......married in Widnes in 1894/5...his son was born the next year then he re-appeared on the death register in 1908

Thanks again for your time....

This family have been a nightmare to trace....this was a long shot....

Hi Neil

No middle name as far as I know...none on his birth or death cert, but that doesn't mean anything...as I got a birth & marriage cert for another member of this family...no middle name on birth cert but a middle name on marrige....
All this family used the same names and I can't think of one begining with L that springs to mind.....but he may have added one himself...

I think he was out of the country for times between 1891 and 1901 as he was on none of these census's even with mis spell of his surname ...and in 1901 he was married but his wife and son were alone and she was down as married...he died in 1908 in Lancashire...

Many Thanks for your time

Hi Ken

He was called Robert Shard the marriage would have been after 1901 as he was in the Scottish census aboard a taining ship.....aged 16
Birth year on his navy records is 1884....but some older family members think this may have been wrong, as he ran away from home to join....and may have lied to get in....they seem to think more around the 1887.....so marriage would have been perhaps after 1904....but you'll probably know that because of his age....
He re-married in 1912 in England....we think his first wife may have died.....

His surname Shard has been mispelt many times....Sherd, Shand, Chard etc..
Thanks for your time

Hi all

I have an ancestor that may have married a Spanish lady...possibly in Spain....although not exactly sure...
I have added it on here as he was in the Royal Navy.....so it could really have been anywhere.....I have had a look at the British marriages and he's nowhere to be found ....

Any suggestions as to where to look
