Sherriff family. Any info please?

[longbow]

Cannot find an emoticon for jaw dropping!    :-)

Lilly Huslin married to a Smith = sons Fred & Alfred Smith = my father's older 'step' brothers.

Lilly came (we are told) from Huguenot stock -- where the lilly is their religious symbol (later Maltese Cross). Grandfather was a silversmith.

My grandfather enlisted in Highbury WW1 and we believe lived there. It seriously looks like you have opened up a new parallel line of Sherriffs - probably relating to GG Grandfather's brother's line.

Mega thanks. I will ask around the family to see what I can enhance.

Hi,
Many thanks. Now it all really fits together! One family line (we know of) 5 brothers in all. Fitting a photo of 4 estimated to be 1919 with their father.

Thanks again

Hi Allan,

Many thanks for looking that one up. Only querie I would have is that our Sherriff is spelt with 2 r's.

Yes I have information and living relatives please blog me back or email (*)

My grandmother was Alice Jane Sherriff, lived at 15 Shakespear Road, and was the only sister to Sydney Sherriff. We have letters written by Sydney while he was a prisoner of war at Stalag 8B.

My mother Joyce, Alice Jane's daughter, who turned 85 last week, is very keen to be in touch as she has many stories and information as well as memories to share with you.

I look forward to speaking to you soon.

Kind Regards,

Jane

Hi  Jane,

Big thanks for finding us!

We had no idea that he had a sister!!! Only info was a picture of himself with his 3 brothers & father.

My email is contact (*)

Sorry to have to use email at this time. I think it will be easiest as I am rarely available by phone due to odd working practices - and that wey we both have easy written records / info.

Look forward to talking with you.

Andy Sherriff.

Hi Andy,

Just to let you know you have email, with further family information.

I'm glad you sent your email address but, mine was removed when I posted it for your over the weekend, so this must be a general rule of the site and good advice from your friend.

Look forward to speaking to you soon.

Kind regards,

Jane.
