Sherrin/Shern Family Cork

[JeannieR]

Hello There

Kate SHERRIN, born 1884 , always said that she was born Cork, but she and her sister Elizabeth SHERRIN born 1888 ,  state on 1901 and 1911 British census, that they were born at Walworth in London.........There is no sign of them prior to 1901 in England, and I have searched, searched and searched again.....

Family story also had it that three brothers , perished at sea in WW1

I have only just , today , found these two young men.....

Peter T SHERN / 1889 / Stoker 1st class / Impregnable , Devonport / born Cork
and
William SHERN / 1893 / Stoker 2nd class / Royal Naval Barracks, Devonport / born Carrgalin , Cork

I cannot find any mention of their demise

I am told that the girls left home, when their father HENRY remarried. He was descesed by 1908, when Kate married

Can anyone help ?

Thank you

Hi I'm David great grandson of Elizabeth Sherrin I also was told {by my mother Valerie Linnell who was brought up by Elizabeth as her mum was not around}  that the two sister's {Kate & Elizabeth} came from County Cork! though I can't find any trace before 1901 census also heard about the two brothers killed in the great war I can't find them either your Post on here is the closest I've come to find family from Sherrin side. Elizabeth married Thomas Linnell in Leicestershire

If Thomas was going to Cork, I think he was back in England soon.

I think Mark Quick could also be Henry Quick.

Here he is living with William Sherrin and his family in 1911

William Sherrin gives his father as deceased William Sherrin on his marriage but he does have Henry Quick boarding with him

In 1911, Thomas Sherrin is living with his wife in Erith, Kent.

There is a death of Private Thomas Sherrin, Erith, Kent. He is son of the late Henry Sherrin and husband of Alice.

The children seemed to have retained their mother’s surname (can’t see a marriage to Quick) and used Henry as the name of their father. Presumably he was as they were registered as Quick but you could purchase a copy of a birth certificate to check.
