Topic: Surname Sherratt

I've been on your site and it is very well done. I was able to pull some Parish records for John/Ellen Sherratt for my records.

I have dozens and dozens of Sherratts from Norton that I have not been able to connect prior to 1800, hopefully someday I'll have them all figured out.

Topic: Surname Sherratt

Hello

you have recently heard from my distant cousin, Ron Sharratt. I was very interested to hear about William Sherratt born 1641 (WS) - reading between the lines WS is the uncle of Hugh Bourne.

Also it has occurred to me that WS could be the brother of our ancestor John Sherratt who was married to Mary Clowes. I don't know where or when John and Mary were born but their son was William was baptised at Leek in 1667 which means our John could be WS's older brother who was baptised in 1836 at Norton.

Also our William's son Henry married Ann Fynney who was baptised at Norton in 1697 - so there was definitely a connection between our Sherratts and Norton.

Therefore I would be extremely interested to learn more about the following: William born 1641's brother John - in particular whether he married Mary Clowes who was baptised at Norton in 1650 - the Fynney (or Finney) family.

Our Ann's parents were Ralph and Ann Steel who were married at Dilhorne in 1688 - can you please tell me when the church was first registered for marriages - the IGI does not have any marriage records prior to 1752. Where did earlier marriages take place?

If you are unable to answer my questions, do you know anyone else who may be able to help.

Very many thanks for your help with this

Best wishes
