Sherriff family. Any info please?
« on: Monday 27 December 10 18:43 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
we would be very grateful for any links or information re our family .... Sherriff.
Most we know of are based in Rhyl north Wales, but we think we have connections with others in Gloucestershire, south Wales.

Most recent 'link' was my father Sidney William Sherriff, photographer in Rhyl, Korea and WW2 RAC. Son of Sidney Sherriff RSM RWF, India, France, Dunkirk taken POW. My uncles were Alfred, Fred and Donald & aunt Renie - all now gone.

Some distant relationship with RC Sherriff?

Any info appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks.
That seems to fit well with 'speculation'.
We knew it was India, but not where.

Mother was named Lillian. Sid & Don from second marriage to Sidney who was a soldier. Lillian had been married to a soldier who died in India. her maiden name is unknown, but I now have much more to go on.

Thankyou again.

Hi.
We have no idea of Sidney 'senior's' middle name. But, so far as we know he was staunch RWF from WW1 (sgt) to his D in 1954.

Reckon H must be from a different Sherriff line.

My grandfather's Army no was 4179131

Thanks again.
